Default INSTALLED DragginBaggers sys. Today

I spent the better part of the morning getting to know Tony and Amee while installing my new draggin baggers system on my 06 Ultra and here is my take so far.

The system is all it is claimed to be, the parts used appear to be of good quality. The system does in fact improve the ride over the stock air shocks. I put 146 miles on this system and am very pleased with the ride and the fact I no longer have to stop and get the pump out to change air pressure (which was a common practice for me).

Running down the highway and dumping the air and pumping back up in a few seconds, changing the ride depending on road conditions on the fly is by far the only way to go.

Did I say I was pleased with this system already? No doubt this is a quality system so if you’re looking to adjust your ride on the fly I highly recommend you take a good look at the draggin baggers air ride system.

As for Tony and Amee, these are two people dedicated to customer satisfaction and I would have no problem standing by them, I believe Tony is a true Man of his word and I wish them all the luck in the future business venture.

P. S. I hope this answers all your uncertainties of there product and only ask that anyone that has anything to say about this product to do your homework prior to posting negative opinions.

Oh!! Be assured I am no way affiliated with this company; I was only looking to improve the ride quality and be able to adjust on the fly. I do believe I got just that.

Dang I hate when I spell someones name wrong...[:@]

There is no gage on my system as I believe it is not necessary. The compressor is only capable of putting out X amount of pressure which the shocks are capable of handling.

My opinion is less is more and more just leads to chance of failure, I’m sure you can run an inline gage if that’s something you want to do.

UltraScoot,

Were you running the stock supension before the change?

Have you lowered your front forks?

Any pogo action?

Any wobble?

How long does the install take?

Do you have to remove the rear tire for installation?

Thanks for the info.

Went from the stock HD 13 inch shocks to the 12 inch HD shocks to the DragginBaggers sys.

I have not lowerd the front.

I have only put on 146 miles so far, some highway some City and all is good.

Avg. install would be 1.5 hours to all day depending how much you drink (it's an easy install).

No rear tire removal required.

Thanks UltraScoot,

Did you install the compressor under the battery tray?

Hey Bruce,
Glad it is working good for you! Where is the air compressor switch? And is there just one switch or two? I have seen systems with one toggle for increasing air and one for decreasing air. I have also seen a system with only one toggle-one direction to increase-opposite direction to decrease.

Hey Matt,

It is one switch (3way) Up, off, down. Mounted in existing hole (left side) in plate where cable clamp is.

Matt, give me a call and I'll come bye for you to see and ride.
