im looking at getting either xotic or jc baggers air ride. anyone used these? hows the handling? bounciness?

 

I have the Xotic and love it...outstanding customer service..

 

I have not personally seen or used the xotic system. However, I have installed the DIY kit using the Monroe MA785 shocks and the xotic shocks look exactly the same (except for their logo) and the specs are similar, 14" up/9.25 down. The thing about the monroes is that you have to have it inflated all the way before you build enough pressure so that you are not riding a pogo stick. Not sure if xotic addressed this. Why is this important? Because you will be at 14 inches up which sucks if you are not a 6 foot person. Best part of the DIY system, less than $250 for everything. If you do a search you will find all the instructions that you need.

 

I am looking to upgrade the Air Shocks on my 2012 Tri-Glide does anyone have any suggestion? Someone posted in this forum "why would anyone want to lift their ride?" I have a problem with dragging my pipes when loading or unloading the Trike into my Toy Hauler and on speed bumps and need to lift it JC Baggers said that their shocks can lift 1100 lbs but didn't say what the lift was. I only need a couple of inches.Plus being able to adjust on the fly seems like a great idea for a trike. Hard to see here but pipe ends are flat from dragging.
