I've been looking for a place to get the Arnott system at a discount. Where did you get yours?

I've had thier system on my Train going on 2 years and have been sort of a road test for them with different pieces as they have improved the system with testing. You can pump it manually with an air pump if the pump goes out.It comes with very easy to read and clear color photo instructions.If your good with a wrench it should take you 2- 2-1/2 hours the first time around.I can do them now in an 1-1/2 hours.Very straight forward.
Lisa in the office and Mr. Arnott are easy to deal with should you have any issues.A tech will answer any issues also during reg business hours.I've got 20k + on mine and use it most every time out.Great ride when you find your sweet spot for the load your carrying. Hope you enjoy the system.G.

Love my Arnott. My 09 Ultra sits higher then my 06 Ulta. I added the Arnott with the 13 inch shocks. Also added a center stand for a lowered bike. I can raise my air ride, drop the center stand with no effort then hit the down button and drop it on the stand. I then raise the bike and drive off. Very important to get the air guage or it will be hard to find your sweet spot evertime. I am 5'8". I can also just raise it until it hits my butt then off I go. Bike will also sit over very far on the jiffy stand. (problem with the 09's). I can also let out air and drop the bike and it almost stands up by itself. This sysem has many advantages other than a good ride. Very pleased with it.

They have bumpstops that keep it from bottoming out even if full air failure. As far as the warranty, it has a 5yr one.
