Now that I have had the MorRyde IS Suspension installed in place of the springs and shackles and MorRyde Pin Box Installed in place of the Trail Air Tri Glide I have a whole lot fewer grease fittings.

With the Tri Glide and the Springs and Shackles I had 9 Grease Fittings on the Tri Glide and 7 Grease Fittings on each sides springs and shackles for a total of 23 Grease Fittings, I now have 4 Grease Fittings, one on each MorRyde IS Assembly (and they are very easy to access)

What do you think of the MorRyde Pin Box ???? Worth the upgrade? Just curious since I was looking at it. Will look at it in person Wednesday morning. I heard a rumor that it may be offered and installed at the rally.

Rob...are you pleased with the IS upgrade?
Dramatic difference from spring suspension?

Bob, during the short ride (about 15 miles) from MorRyde to the Shipshewana South CG (Rally CG) my Redwood rode very good but not enough distance to get a real good feel for the IS update.

Yep, looking forward to my next move to Branson MO, that should give me a chance to really check it out.

Totally agree with Rob, we had the IS, disk brakes and MoRryde pin box installed same days as him and have only pulled to Shipshewana CC for the Rally. Not enough time to evaluate the IS and brakes but the improvement on the pin box was immediate. We've only had our unit for 3 months but we (especially the wife who struggles some with spinal stenosis) really hated the Tri-Glide. Wife is extemely happy, which makes me happy, and no air bag to inflate or grease fittings is a big plus for me.

Steve,
That is correct on installation at rally. Had mine installed at my site today.

Let's just say that when the MORyde truck left yesterday it looks like a return pile going back to Lippert. Lol. I think at least 8-10 of us have changed to it at the Rally so far.
