Slamtail is a fully designed and engineered system using an on-board Electro-Hydraulic Power Unit that lengthens and shortens two hydraulic rams attached to your Harley spring/shock assemblies.
- 2
The power unit can generate over 1000psi fluid pressure, when transferred to the rams, gives them a retracting force of over one ton per ram.
- 3
The fluid is passed through high quality aerospace spec stainless-steel braided PTFE hydraulic hoses which are swaged at both ends (not crimped), and pressure tested to over 4000PSI.
- 4
The Hydraulic Power Unit is installed under the engine/transmission in a little pocket all Twin-Cam Softails have.
- 5
Attached neatly to the motor body is a specially designed extruded aluminium housing that contains all the electronics which control the electric motor via remote control.
- 6
The whole assembly is protected from the weather and road grime by a 16-gauge thick pressed steel plate, that is powder-coated over zinc-plate, attaching to the underside brackets at 4 points.
- 7
The 2 hydraulic actuator rams that screw onto the OEM Harley spring shock units are precision manufactured from aerospace grade steel and aluminium alloys.
- 8
Each actuator assembly has a full travel of 7/8" which when translated through the suspension motion ratio of 3:1, gives you a total change in ride at the wheel of over 2½
- 9
When the actuator reaches the top of it's stroke, an internal pressure relief valve kicks in, now release the UP button.
- 10
When the actuator reaches the bottom of it's stroke, an internal relief valve kicks in, now release the DOWN button.
