from what I can recall... arnott makes real good stuff. You may need to spend some time rewiring under the fender due to clearance issues. I also believe JRK had some problem with the belt guard hitting the fender as well.

A lot of people here have the arnott systems. I think the guy who owns the company is a forum member but I can't remember his name. Have not heard a bad thing about them yet...

Shotgun Shocks is developing an air ride suspension for Dyna / Touring models, with two air adjustments, one for height and one for firmness. I saw the Softail version at a local bike night, it is a clean installation and the bike can be raised or lowered instantly. http://www.shotgunshock.com/

It's not how much it costs, It's how bad I want it.
