air ride questions
Ok I am thinking of installing an air ride suspension on my 07 RK. Which system offers the best ride quality for a 115# rider with a 28" inseam? Would I be better off to go with a 13" shock and dont run it up all the way or run 12" shock extended completly? I currently am running 11.25" bitchin bagger shocks but would like a little better ride.

I like my Arnott system too but, @ almost 300# & a 31" inseam, makes it hard for me to reccomend it for your application. I think DR. V-Twin sells them & is a site sponsor. Send Drew @ Dr. V-Twin a PM for forum member discounted pricing.

Arnott has the best customer service bar none. Got them on the V Rod and soon to be on the Ultra. I bought via a dist and can call them direct for advance replacement parts and tech advice. Had a problem I could not track down, they shipped me replacement parts n/c. Wanted a more slammed look on the V Rod and they moved the internal bump stops no charge. They are a little expensive but between them and Hog Pro, no better customer service in the HD aftermarket business.

Look into Platinum air too, they have 2 air lines, one on the the top and another on the bottom, I had the Arrnott for 2 years and it was just ok. Shooter64 from Cateye customs recommended the Platinum and went with the Arrnott, I guess next time I'll listen better. Call him or PM him and he can explain why the Platinum is better. Price is about the same.

I run the Arnott with damping adjustments on them they are 12" and the whole dampening thing is what makes the Arnott work for me. Without that adjustment I would probablly not like them very much as I had to sdjust them to my conditions to find the ride I was looking for.
