Going Hi-Lo -thoughts?
I know there has been alot of discussion about air ride set-ups recently. I think I am ready to pull the trigger. I have been going back and forth between the Hi-Lo and the SAS. Given that the Hi-Lo is about half the price (still on sale for $799 - I spoke with them today) versus the $1,500 for the SAS. In addition, lifetime warranty on the system with 2 years on the compressor, it made it a bit more appealing. Is there anyone out there who can give me a good reason why I shouldn't go with the Hi-Lo? I appreciate any input that you have.

I love my Hi Lo. One of the guys that rides with us had a sticky something or other on his system. He called up Aaron and got it fixed for free under warranty this mroning. The guy will work on sunday morning to keep his customers happy. 'Nuff said...

anubisss - thanks for the input. FYI I called there this morning to leave a message thinking that he would call me back Monday. He actually called me back this afternoon (Sunday). Said he was there doing some clean-up. Gotta like that!

My only advice would be not to get the remote. I got it and it was great for the first week or so, playing in the drive way. I never really use it anymore. Just trying to save you some dough!! My remote broke once and I killed the bike battery by playing with the system when the bike wasnt' running, replaced it with a gel one (old one wouldn't hold a charge) Other than that mine has been perfect. Aaron is a great guy.
Takes about 20 seconds or so to air up but drops in a flash. Ride wise it's great, I count the seconds I air it up so I get the ride right where I want it. It's a different feel than conventional shocks when you ride over railroad tracks and such. Not bad different just different : )

Buddy is installing an Arnott system right now. It suggests that you use a pressure gauge to get the right settings time after time.
Anyone here using a pressure gauge with any of their Hi-Lo systems? Think you really need it?
