air forks

[rash_powder]

I am going to be replacing my rear who is with a set of air shocks. I like the adjustability at the touch of a button, like Gold wings run.

That got me thinking, how would an air fork be? There has to be a bike out there, like a goldwing, running air forks I could either directly swap onto my Rocket or pirate parts from to make my forks air forks.

So, what do you guys think? Good idea, bad idea? Or just stick with emulators?

The forks on a 1981 Yamaha XS1100SH are air/oil. I don't think they'll fit in your triple tree's yoke though without a bunch of shims.
