Progressive Airtail...only been running it for about 3 months, but so far no problems at all. Voodoo's bike looks sweet with the Legends and probably has more drop/lift range, but from what i understand...and someone can correct me if i'm wrong, butif you spring a leak or bust a bag, the shocks sag to lowest position? the airtail has a spring shock and an air shock, so if a line busts the spring shock returns the system to stock riding position and still provides some support...that's the only reason i went with progressive over legends. this pic has 'em lowered some, but could probably go down about another inchmax.

RE: Air Ride Suspension Questions
Today installing an "Air Ride" suspension kit from Accessories Limited that's based in Victorville, CA. Having a local bike shop install. The guys around the bike shop aren't familiar with "Air Ride," but from my research the set up should be trouble-free. It's warranted.
From what I've read the ride should be a lot more comfortable than what I'm experiencing with the lowered HD shocks I installed.
I'm hoping for the best and will let you know.

I'vehad the Progressive Airtail on my Fatboy for almost 4 years.No problems at all.It won't get you 5" of lowering though.Hell I didn't think the swing arm would move that far even with no shocks attached.It will give you a fully adjustable ride,height and firmess adjustments and maybe lower it 2 1/2 to 3"

RE: Air Ride Suspension Questions
After alot of research, check out my thread:

Not putting down the other kits out there, but with it combined into one unit, and all your running is a few wires, it all adds up to a cleaner look. These guys had an answe to every question, and they were happy to chat and shoot the BS about it! I will be getting this hopefully before the end of the summer, or at the very latest, by Sept.
I planned on doing a write-up and photo shoot for it as well for another magazine I work for part time.

amighjm6,
I Was checking out the Airtail system, but it says on Progressive's site that the compressor does not fit on the Deuce. Did you just go with manual fill, or did you find a way to mount the compressor?
