The new compressor came today and that solved the leaking issue Arnott shipped it promptly with a return shipping label for the faulty unit I can't complain at all about the customer service from both Arnott and Hogpro. I purchased the system thru Hogpro best price on the web and as always Drew was great to deal with and ready to help with any problem.

I just received my Arnott suspension today. I will second the fact that Drew and Hogpro are a pleasure to work with!! More once I get it installed.

Call JD at Shotgun Shock. He's had a touring setup in R&D for a couple of years and finally got it where he wants it...and from what I've seen it's going to be as good or better unit than the Softail model I have on my Heritage. It really is the best riding shock I've ever had on a bike, period. Wife 3.0 had rather be on the Heritage than the Ultra for short trips because of the comfort.

At least talk to JD. He's a great guy and his customer service and LIFETIME warranty, no question he replaces the unit, is top notch. I've had no issues other than being very happy dealing with him and more comfortable two up, 80lbs of baggage riding stock height running down the road, and as smooth as my Escalade has ever been over the same washboard roads.

Spending that much for an air ride, you really should talk to a guy concerned ONLY with air ride and ONLY for Harleys....

I really did consider the shotgun and I did have a conversation with JD along with some email exchanges and he is a really nice guy. I just couldnt swallow the extra $1000 over the top of the line Arnott.

Soapy water will do a better job of finding leaks. Spray it on from a spray bottle, or just dab it on with a rag or paintbrush.
Use Windex all the time for air leaks. Works great.

Give JD a call at Shotgun Shock. He has a system for touring bikes now. His softail system is the Best air ride in the biz in my opinion, and he is one of the nicest guys you will ever talk to.
