Default Air ride setup

looking to buy a rear air ride setup for my 14 street glide. Found a kit on eBay for 578. It's a fast up kit with compressor and small tank that mount behind saddle bag on the rails. Anyone know if the same type setup for less? Thanks.

Call these guys, awesome product with even better customer service: https://jnrdesigned.com/

Your ebay seller may not help down the road if you need help, but JNR will.

I never had air ride and recently went with a JNR kit with the 100c compressor and touring shocks. My reasoning was this: use it for a while as is then decide if I need fast up tank (or better 2nd compressor), switch relocation or whatever. So far I like it just like it is so I saved some $$ for now. 100c compressor goes up plenty fast for me and the switch location is great.

So I am not here to spend your money, I have installed air systems on both my own bikes and others as well and found, you get what you pay for. The bag style air shocks will provide you with a system that certainly will go up and down, possibly an improvement to the ride over stock, but in my honest opinion will give you a Pogo effect if and when hitting bumps in a hard corner. I have used Tricky Air and Air FX as well, (never used the Shotgun nor the Arnott.) It will cost you in the end for these systems are not cheap/inexpensive but you will never buy another. Actually prob move it from bike to bike. I have found the Air FX is top notch and rides like no other I have used on my own or have installed on others.

AirFX is a larger piston, pre-load to prevent the Pogo and quality built. No Air Bag to Blow out is a huge plus for me. No I am not a sales or affiliated with Air FX, just know a good product and would like to share.

the JNR shocks DO NOT HAVE THE POGO EFFECT as I and others have stated many times.. they do stand alone modifications to the shocks they sell so MAYBE this is why their kits are recommended by so many

I've had two JNR systems on my bikes and installed several others on my friend's bikes. Jason's customer service can't be beat.

I have the Dirty Air system and the shocks I am sure are the same ones as the JNR (Monroe or Gabriel) and they work just fine. I did opt for the Arnott handlebar switch which is much easier to use with gloves on but a little overpriced.
