I think you will be happy with the kit. I don't have the Arnott kit, but I have the Platinum Air Suspension Feed/Bleed kit. I like it ALOT. It's nice to be able to adjust the height at the flip of some switches. It's ALOT more comfortable too!! My bike was lowered with the adjustable kit on the shocks before. It was almost as low as it would go. But it would beat you to death. Even with it slammed all the way down with the air ride, it rides smoother than it did before. But air it up some and it's smooth like a caddy. And it's pretty sweet when you stop somewhere and DROP IT.
It was a bitch to make the compressor with my kit fit. It wouldn't mount like the directions showed. I had to make a bracket for it. And I hope the Arnott kit comes with better directions than the Platinum kit. Platinum needs to print up some better directions.

Chop On,
Robert

I paid 1016 w/ free shipping. Odd price but it was $83 less than going thru Arnott directly.

On my Night Train with the Platinum Air Suspension I can ride it with all the air out and it all the way down with no problems. Just have to make sure nothing is rubbing.
And yes, There is an air pump on it.

Chop On,
Robert

I also have the platinum system on my bike. It is great and I completely agree that air ride is worth the money. There are a lot of if's regarding issues with motorcycles, but I am yet to have to deal with any if's myself. Some of the other people I know have other brands of air ride's and they love them too. I had the lowering bolts and could not deal with the rough ride. Smooth as silk now. Let us know how the Arnott rides when you get it on.

Bro I have the arnott system on my rocker, with danny grey seat, i have it lowered sitting on the fender, its sick, looks insane, it drops lower than a set of progressive shox, if im going on a long ride i put it up, if im just cruising downt town its slammed and i almost drive it slammed 99% of the time it looks to nice, i dont know if u have, but get ur self a 3inch tank lift, u wont regret it, the bike comes together!
