Anyone tried AIR SHOCKS BY FX AIR ?
Just found these on Ebay. They are quite pricey. Has anyone tried them? I almost want to get a bagger and use draggin baggers. If you dont know what im talking about do a search for them. Anyway, when do we get an affordable air shock solution? http://item.express.ebay.com/Vehicle...mdZExpressItem

I know you've been on the hunt for an air ride..
What are your goals?
The adjustability or just to be able to lower your scoot?
Or to be able to lower and have a superior to OEM ride?
I wrestled with it, then just broke down and installed a Progressive lowering kit to OEM shocks.. adjusted the preload and dropped about an inch or so, and it rides beautifully and looks and sits great. I'll probably drop it to about 1 1/2" total below stock. Of course it isn't push-button adjustable, but is set pretty much where I like it, and was a fraction of the cost of airshocks, and no extra stuff (hoses, compressor) to install.
But.. I can see the value in being able to flip a switch to adjust ride-height on the fly.. I wouldn't mind having at least the ability to hook up a pump in the garage to dial it in, according to mood and trial and error.

anubisss, I am also waiting and looking at an air shock system.
I have heard great things about worksperformance shocks. They have just released an air shock system for softails called stealth air.
Platinumairsuspensions has got positive reviews.
Progressive just came out with their new lowering shocks series 422 (lowering shocks, not the air tail).
We have a lot of options for lowering the softails now.

I just had the Hi-Lo Air ride system installed last Thursday. Rode solo and two-up over the weekend and loved the ride.
Looks great slammed but I bought it to be able to adjust the ride on the fly.
Extremely happy with the results.
Beefy patented aircraft grade aluminum shocks.
Lifetime Warranty.
$1089 installed. He's here in Long Beach, Ca and charges an extra $79 to install onsite at your work or home.
