I bought my 13 inch Aldens directly from Arnott. Mention this forum and maybe they will give you a discount or ask if they have any sales going on. They were running a sale when I bought mine. Very good customer service. Make sure you get the pressure guage. Very hard to find the pressure you like to ride at each time without it. I ride at 80lbs. 2 up at 90 lbs. www.arnott.com

The compressor mounts to the rear of the right fender behind the bag and uses existing bolts. Simple and easy install.

i see where you set yours at 80 lbs my question is is that with you sitting on the bike or off
reason i asked is because i have the 12"model and set it at 35 off the bike .but when i get on the bike it increases to like 60 lbs. doesn't really tell you how to set the air pressure .i guess it's trial and error.but 35 lbs works fine for me alone

I have a 09 UC. The compressor mounts on the frame behind the motor. You can not see it. I have a centerstand for a lowered Ultra (Wheeldoc EZ-UP). When on the stand I add pressure to 60lbs and drive off. I ride with 80 lbs and the bike is all the way up. To park I flip the stand down and hit the down button and lower the bike onto the stand while sitting on the bike. If I let all the air out it puts the entire weight on the stand and it will not roll off even when parked down hill. No one can accidently bump it off the stand. Works great and I park like this every time I stop especially when getting gas.
