I bought the bracketry and bags from Air Ride and made my own manual controls. It really isn't very hard to do. My valves are made by Asco and look almost exactly like the Big Red valves.

I picked up the tank used on eBay, the valves new on eBay, the gauges from Viair, the switches from suicidedoors.com. I got my fittings and lines from Fastenal. I have a relay that I can use to power up my compressor and valves and/or turn them off. I would take the time to solder and heat shrink all connections etc. just from a reliability standpoint.

In my opinion, if you are going to try to stay on a budget, it is worth it to buy their CoolRide, but for a cruiser I would make the controls setup myself.

I would recommend a 4-way system.
