Default 2 Part Suspension Question

I'm really thinking about getting my ride a little lower to the ground for a little more of a custom slammed look.

I'm considering installing a Legends Air Ride Kit in the rearand the Progressive springs in the front.

Anyone have any experience or advice? Is there another product that might be better out there that would work instead of the above?

I'm at the drawing board with this, just want to know what you guys think.

Thanks

WoW! I love that chrome blue paint....Sweet....I want one.

Legend Air System. I was on a cruise with a rep from Legend and I can say I was impressed with their package. I've read enough to know that I will put this system on my ride when its time. They have the only rubber system that is built with kevlar (I think) in it. I've read enough about them all to feel comfortable with Legend. You can get the controls in black or chrome, etc, etc. Legend makes a good system IMO.

Got my Race Tech suspension system in the garage "patiently"[:@]waiting for my new wheels to arrive. As mentioned, gold valve emulators, and ability to drop the front 2". I'm gonna drop 1" and hope to dial in the perfect amount of pre-load. I've been assurred by the the guy who's going to do the work, (one of the tope Race Tech dealer installers in the country), that this is the best system available for Harley Davidson's.

Have you looked at the Arnott air ride system?

Hey, Mopar7, how do you like that Arnott system? I've been looking at the Arnott site and it now has a couple new options that look a little different from yours. Really interested in a system that costs $698 for the whole thing! Not sure what you paid for yours, but I know they had a couple large price drops in the last few months. They even just sell the shocks w/o the a/c for $399! Really interested in how yours works, hows the ride, would you recommend it to others? Thanks for the info!
Jerry
