Default Air ride

Thinking of doing air ride on my road king. Anyone have experience with the arnott alden shocks.

Had legends and just could never get the ride correct. Always pretty firm.

I understand the arnotts have adjustments for the softness.

Andy input would be great.

I have Arnott Alden on my 2010 RKC and I am pretty happy with them. The softness is adjustable, but at its softest it isn't squishy, which is good. If it were softer I would be concerned about performance in turns. I don't use a PSI gauge for the shocks and just tune them by the seat of my pants as I ride. Overall I am pretty happy with them.

Not sure what year bike you have, but I have a set of 13" Chrome Aldans, new in the box in my garage.
I'll sell them for $900+ship. Never got around to mounting them.
They also come with the handlebar control switches, that's a $129 option.
MSRP $1399+$129 for the handlebar switch setup.

They fit 1980-2007 Harley's, according to the website.
