Best suspension?
I have an 07 Road Glide and the ride is pretty good till I hit some not so good interstates........ Is there a nice and smooth air ride in the aftermarket for the Road Glides that will give me a smoother ride on rough roads?

RE: Best suspension?
I just installed the Arnott Air Ride set-up on Monday. \\; It was straight forward and pretty easy to do myself. \\; The shocks are 12" fully inflated and have a nice ride to them. \\; I am still messing around with differant air pressure settings to get the "best ride". \\; Keep in mind I weigh 280 lbs. \\; It seems to ride better than the stock shocks though.

I have Legend Air Suspension on mine and to date have ZERO complaints and it rides MUCH MUCH better. Especially when 2 up and loaded. Got a trip to Kentucky plannned for week of the 4th, I'll post results when we get back.

with all due respect. \\; either an adjustable Penske or Ohlins are the best. \\; The very nature of an air shock will never give you a good ride regardless. \\; If you ever ride them you will know and realize the difference. \\; There is no comparison. \\; Please do not take offense.

No offense taken here. I had the oppurtunity to ride a Legend Equipt bike and then ran into a deal on the system to boot so I just couldn't pass on it. I had been looking at Penskes but I just wasn't convinced a shock like that can give a confortable ride when solo and then 2 up loaded. I also was taken aback by the cost of them as well, not that legend was so cheap, as I said, I happened into a tremendous deal I couldn't pass by.
