Default Air Suspension Question

I finally have my mind made up to get an air suspension on my 04 Fatboy . I have narrowed my list down to 2 models . The SAS and the Legend . I know what opinions are like but I would like the know the pros and cons on each from riders who have or have had either one . Thanks

A little searching here would find you what you're lookin for. There's been quite a few rather extensive posts about the pros and cons of all the air rides.

I went with the SAS.

I went with the SAS-00 for my ride. Haven't had the chance to ride the bike yet. Waiting to finsh the rest of the mods. According to my mechanic the install was very easy like changing stock shocks except for the wires which was also an easy set-up. The only issue that was raised was the transmisson drain plug. PhantomMaxx did a really nice job on the research and install regarding the SAS unit. Good Luck on your decision..
