Arnott Air Suspension on a 2011 Street Glide????
Im wondering if anyone has used the Arnott Air Suspension for a 2010 or 2011 Street Glide and what they think of it? Im considering using the The ArnottŽ Aldan Air Suspension System 12 in. Black Air Suspension System (11-Way Adjustable)

Is there another good brand of air ride suspension to use on a Street glide that's better. I also heard of legends air ride suspension but its more costly $$$$
Please I Need Opinions!!

I've got the Arnott Air ride on my 07 Road King. I have the Aldan Shocks, I'm completly satisified with mine, in fact I love it. I had a problem with the manifold block after I installed it, I called them, told them I was having a leak off problem. They told me no problem that it was easy to over torque the Voss air fittings into the manifold. ( I just tightned it too much) They said they were doing a redesign on the material the block was made of, they sent me out a new manifold block and all new Voss fittings, No Charge! They were helpful when I talked with them about the system, it was easy to install, and the only proplem I had was of my own doing and they corrected that, No Questions Asked!
I've had it on my bike for a year, no problems. I love being able to adjust the ride on the fly. When I pull in to park, I drop the shocks, it's easier to get on and off of, and my wife can throw her leg over without hitting the saddlebag lid.
Oh, did I mention they look great! When I park, I slam it down all the way, and it always draws lots of comments.
I never could get used to the way the high side saddlebags looked before I put them on, you could see all the way up under the saddle bag! (Looked like a fat lady with her dress blown up!) The Arnotts took care of that crap. When I drop it down the pipes are about an inch off the ground. You can ride it dropped without any rubbing, but it rides like a "hard tail".
Their a little pricey, but I would not have a bike now, without an adjustable air ride system.

Thanks, I bought the Arnott Aldins today 12'inch.. Im 5'7 and was on my tiptoes when riding and coming to a stop on the bike... What do you set the suspension pressure at riding single and riding with a passenger?.

Pressure
The set I bought, came with a 12V compressor. When I park, I drop the bike all the way down. When I get ready to ride, I raise the bike up about an inch and a half. The final adjustment is made on the fly, according to load weight and road conditions. I have a toggle switch that I toggle until the ride suits me.
It has an adjustable valve that allows you to adjust your drop rate. I set mine to drop very slowly, I feel that is safer when adjusting on the fly.
