Default Anyone have air ride?

I'm going to put an air adjustable suspension on my 05 Dyna. Is anyone running an Arnott or Legends system on their bike that would have some input? The Arnott system is alot cheaper, but I don't know if there is a reason for that. Thanks for any input and help.

I'd be interested in finding out as well. I too am looking to get an airride setup on my bike in the next few months. I know Joe said he was going with the Arnott system.
Hopefully there is some good feedback out there...

The newest ones available that I know of are made by Shotgun Shocks: http://www.shotgunshocks.com/, I saw them on a Softail in person at a local bike night, high quality and a very clean installation.

They use air pressure to raise, lower, set ride height, and firmness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kipD...layer_embedded

I have the 12" Arnott "Aldan" black anodized system. I think they look better than the legends or shotguns imho. They ride great and are adjustable while riding with onboard compressor. Customdynamics had them for around $900 in black.

Jpace I think you have me sold. Now I have to find a new set of dual disc forks so I can get rid of the sport forks since they don't make a lowering kit for them.

They are actually 11.6" fully extended, 9.6" collapsed. I think this is the only size they make for Dyna's

They are fully adjustabe with onboard compressor. Check out Custom Dynamics, just type in Arnott or Aldan in search box.

I dont have a video but I found one on Youtube, I guess they make em in 13" too.
