I am aware of 6 reputable players in the FLH air-ride game, Alloy Art, Arnott , Bike Buddy Pro, Legends, Platinum Air & Progressive. I checked them all out and am extremely satisfied with the component quality and performance of Progressive AirTail I.A.S. Second choice would be Arnott, last choice would be Legends.

I just purchased the progressive kit. I went on the theroy that they produce a great shock so there air ride must be the same. when I get it I will let you know what I think of it.

We sell quite a few of the Bike Buddy Pro (Hi/Lo) units and have never had a problem with any of them. Discounts to forum members. PM me for pricing.

Just installed the progressive kit. Very easy install, on a scale of 1-10 about a 3. The shocks are very nice with chrome tops. The compressor mounts under the left side cover or under the battery tray if you have the cruze option. Very simple plug and play wiring just follow the diagram.
I can not give any feed back on the ride quality because the other mods I am doing to the bike (everything is apart)
The progressive kit is quality. Check on ebay that's where I got mine paid $730.00 complete and brand new.
