True, and they're genuine ARP (at least the ones I've received), just watch the shipping. I tend to build a list and order a fair number of items at once to help spread the shipping cost out. If I need several, I usually buy the 5pc blister cards from Jegs. Also, if doing an. "ARP project", I've found Alloyboltz.com to be extremely cost effective compared to sourcing the bolts individually (hint, check their eBay store or call them. Deals can be had. ) Of course, YMMV.

Thanks! All good info for the next project!

Today installed Arnott air suspension on the 03 WG. The kit was for 91-07 Dynas. As usual, the WG is exception to the rule. The mount/bracket for compressor did not work. Motor would hit compressor on startup. Luckily, I have a side bag that became the new home. Next, the top shock mount spacer was too large. Kicked the suspension out of alignment; luckily a call to Ken at Arnott, and he fixed me up with a spacer real close to actual size needed (spacer to Vrod). The rest of install went with no hiccups, and have been happy with the ride quality. Worries me that it soaks up road bumps as well as my Road Glide setup. And riding at lower height is comparable to the Burly Slammers they replaced. Anyways here are some pics:

12\" Bilstein setup

Spacer too big

New home for compressor.

Burly Slammer compared.

Well got my front end broke down and changed out and the new rear shocks on. Got sag and preload loosely set. Too bad the rain came in before I could get a good test ride in. Hoping it rides as good as it looks. Will definitely take some getting used to the height but should be a dream. Good pics to come since I couldn't get out of the carport.



and to anyone wondering putting these adjusters in were the worst part. I'm no weak man but it was hell to compress enough to start the threads.

Seeing daylight under your rear fender is taking some getting used to.

I hope the bike handles the way you want it to.

Ride safe!

A supermoto Harley. Went to ride mine and the battery was dead. On the charger for the night. Past two days have been cool weather here. That's enough for me. tp

Rode mine to work, though I'm beginning to think that might not have been the best idea.

Hopefully, it will all be gone and melted off by the time I leave work. However, since temps are not supposed to rise above 36f today, I might have a slippery ride home.

Be careful. Winter seems to be striking in early this year. Rainy day today so couldn't ride but low tomorrow is supposed to be in the 20s. Very odd for Louisiana this time of year. Good luck to you guys in the north.

I got my Samson Street Sweepers on. My initial thought over the Vance and Hines Short Shots I had with quiet baffles.... LOUDER, MUCH LOUDER! However, the tone of the bike is much throatier. The street sweepers come with baffles but my guess is just a generic metal baffle with no padding. I like how it sounds and looks. Wife gave me the thumbs up so thats an added bonus... (when your Dyna is quieter than your wife's sportster, things MUST CHANGE!). Hope to have a sound clip and better pictures up if the snow ever stops now. Glad I got my 30 miles in yesterday when I did.
