For $300 take it, and yes your ride will be better than with the lowering bolts.

For what it's worth, a local indy mechanic here told me: "If you asked me to put a Legend system on your bike, I'd tell you to go somewhere else." Didn't ask him for details. Took his word for it and will eventually get a Shotgun.

Im starting to get this air ride together. What kind of pressures are most of you running? The legends guage goes from 0-320. I put 60 in the bags to test and see if they were working. Thanks for all the knowledgable replys.

My Hi Lo does not even have a gauge. I just count to about 30 to get it to where it rides nice.

ok so I have installed the shocks on my fatboy. It took me a couple of weeks to get all the neccesary bushings etc from legend. My question is for you all who have put air ride on before. The air compressor is mounted on a angled piece of aluminium that has two bolt holes that attatch to the two holes on the rear of the frame. This location is also used for many exhaust system mounts. The compressor seems to be an extremely tight fit and seems to be hitting on the transmission. Has anybody ever had to space this bracket out off of the frame? I read the install instructions from legend and they are very basic.

Ok I finally got all my air ride installed. It's pretty comfy. I believe it rides better than stock. I does not feel like your riding on air either though. Last night I rode it to the bike shop and back, its deffinately an attention getter. When I pulled up I killed the bike and then started letting air out and people gathered around with questions. Thanks to everyone for your help and advice from this system.

Hahaha.
I love the comment from a hardtail rider.
