For the features the Arnott has, I would personally go with the Hi-Lo system for about half as much. If I'm dropping $9-1000 (from what I've seen that looks like their price) I'm going with a Shotgun or a Platinum bleed-feed setup that gives you a lot more control.
You'll get a lot of opinions here, no doubt, and most everyone seems to be pleased with the choices they've currently made. As someone who hasn't made a purchase yet, I'll tell you that I will be going with a Shotgun Shock when I do purchase.

I have it on my 08 rocker and I have to say you should probably put your money somewhere else. I would have liked more of a dramatic difference for that much money. I'm sure I'll catch some backlash for saying its a pain in the **** to put on, but it was (and I've been buiding cars since I was 14). I even broke my jackstand trying to get the stock shocks off from putting so much torque on them. Anyhow, I'd probably go with a really good set of shocks and put the savings into another project if I were you.

Noticed I preceeded my comment with acknowledging that I'd get backlash for saying it was a pain? Anyhow, I know it SHOULDNT be but in MY experience it was a pain. I finally took it to the dealership to have them break the bolts loose with their air tools (since I do everything with the oldfashion arm power) and even they had a hard time breaking it loose. Other than getting the stock shocks off, it wasnt tough, just the normal time consuming part of running/hiding all the wires. However, bottom line is that I stick by saying that I'd spend the money somewhere else if i were you but its your bike, do what you think is best. I'd rather have spent the roughly $1200 on something else.

Man don't feel bad ...getting those f*kn stock shocks (right side) off are a pain in the a$$. Those bolts are damm tightened down...crazy tight....
Best way to get them loose is a wrench and a rubber mallet.
Or maybe go to 24hr fitness then work out for about 5 yrs. go back to those bolts and pull till your brain pops....
As for the Arnett system????? ElSupremo got it right...Why pay a grand+ for that system when you can get a Hi-LOW by Buddy systems for half the price with a lifetime warrenty...
For a $1000.00 there are much better systems out there....
