Arnott air Ride or Not
I have a 2005 Ultra and would like comments on the Arnott air ride system? I have back problems and was wondering if this system would help? Comments please good or bad. Am I wasting $1000.00. Thanks to all in advance.

I have the Arnott billstein set up on my 09 Road King and I absolutely love it. it is very comfortable and an improvement over stock. A friend has the Arnott Aldan set up on his V-Rod and He loves that set up as well.

Shocks replaced due to leaking seals, control switch disintegrated, compressor mounting bracket broke, control valve failed

You might want to check out Ohlins. Howard is a sponsor to this Forum and you get a pretty good discount from him. He can custome tune your shocks to your weight, riding style and more importantly he works with you from installation to tuning the preload.
Here's the link to his website. http://motorcyclemetal.com/
I'm not trying to talk you out of the Arnott's, just giving you another alternative to using air as a spring.
