I'm planning on dropping some cash on a new air ride system. The problem is their is quite alot of systems to choose from. I appreciate your input on what system is the best bang for the buck. Thanks!!!
A lot of people here are raving about Shotgun Shocks these days. I've personally only used the Legend Air System, and my major complaint was the "pogo" effect.
The choices are many as stated above. There is the Platinum bleed and feed and shotgun shock which were both designed by the same guy. There is Legends, Hi Lo, SAS and probably some other versions.
Some things to take into consideration are the Pogo effect and if you are able to change your transmission oil without pulling the shocks. If you do not do your own service it really does not matter. The unibody units need to be pulled or half pulled to get to the transmission drain plug.
What kind of riding do you do? What do you expect out of your sir ride? How much are you willing to spend? Those are the important question.

I have the Legend Air Ride on my Heritage and I have the same pogo problem as well. I would prefer a system that raises and lowers quite quickly. I'll have to look in to the Shotgun system. Thanks

As for the price it doesn't really matter, I really just want a quality air ride system. My riding style is local once in a while I might do a long haul. I would really like a system that allows me to drop it down low; but allows me to have a great ride quality.
Platinum or shotgun shock will provide a better ride due to the bleed and feed technology. Saw a shotgun shock on ebay last week for $1000. I think list is about $1600.
I appreciate the advice and insight. I will definitley take a look at these systems. I'm quite surprised on the system prices. Their a lot lower than what they use to be.
