street glide hight and other tourers hight
You guys are funny, The system drops 2.5 inches in 2.5 seconds, yes when you are at a light your headlight is now adjusted up - but as soon as you accelerate it raises up to proper factory ride height, and down goes the beam of light back to where you will be riding 99% of the time.
You do not go back and forth - trust me - you leave it - I have yet to have anyone complain about my headlight. If you plan on parking at a light different story. For the most part you arrive, you go! The only way it would effect someones mirror is if you were a considerable distance back. Think outside the box here guys!
Spring 1 - is for those who are not on a touring ride, touring gets spring 2 - why is is a heavier diameter, to take the extra weight - That is the only difference. It is set up for 2 up and loaded. Spring one is for two up but not a decker. The only difference is the total weight that could ultimately be carried.
If I am going to spend... Better ride - YES, Better handling - YES, More control - YES - all of these are greatly improved by going to this system. You always maintain full suspension no matter what height you are at.
A typical air ride system upon compression ( loaded with two up and gear as an example) going into a corner is already compressed prior to heading into the corner, this system no matter what you load on it still has the full spring travel, thus giving you far better control. I know when I giver into a corner with this system, I can heavily accelerate mid point and come out like a rocket, two up loaded. That is usually when I get the slap on the back of the head from my wife
My point is I don't lolly gag around , I drive it to see how it will perform. Hydraulic suspension is solid. I am at full factory ride height, which is ideal!
You can slam your ride, put on a larger front wheel, extend your bags, put in a 120 motor, hell the sky is the limit, but, if at the end of the day all of this altering changes your ride height which is built that way for a reason, you must be changing a lot more by doing so, or giving up a lot of what the bike was originally designed to do. With this system - you can do all of the above, but once you hit 13 MPH in 2.5 seconds you are back to full control giving up nothing. When you get back into town and want to cruise around dragging your *** - so be it!
Have you watched the video of the system actually in action?
