Default arnott air

i did the install today. took me about 4 hours and just shy a 6 pack. went for a test ride and wow such a big diffrencs from my stock shocks that i had bitchin baggers drop down to 11 inches.. night n day! i had 60 psi and that comes out to 10.75 eye to eye. and smooth as smooth..very pleased. custom dynamics offers the kit for 509.00 thats 90.00 cheaper than anyone else plus a 5% cupon for my earlier order of some led's. so if anyone has thought about going to the air ride its highly recomended.. ride safe everyone

Just to bust your chops a little, I find it ironic you mention you drank a 6 pack and then went for a test drive followed by a "ride safe" at the end of your post. I'm guessing the truth is something closer to a)you hold your booze better than I and weren't drunk and b)a significant amount of time passed between the drinkin and ridin.

All in all, glad the install worked out for you. I've been eyeballing those shocks for the dyna for awhile. That company sure makes some sexy shocks. Good to hear they ride as well as they look. Comfort at 10.75 is hard to do.

In regards to the switch I got the handle mounted switch. Comes black or chrome. You can adjust on the fly

i wanted the same set up myself.. upon reading posts on here everyone seemed to like having a gauge to find that sweet spot everytime. so i opted to go with the swich n gauge combo.. any complants?? i have this popping sound well i inflate seems that the bladder is getting stuck on itself and pops free as air rushes in, arnott says that will go away with time????

Mine does that from time to time also. Best thing to do, is when you let the air out stop after the shock bottoms. Don't let all the air out. That lets the bladder get tangled.
