One thingI really like about the Legend is the control switches on the handlebar. They integrate with the stock controls the best andare ergonmically set in the right spot to do adjustments while you are riding. See attached photo.
Shooter was going to see if that control would work with the Platinum system. I believe he thought it would. AirFX has a really little handlebar mount control.You can see it in the pdf document:

Platinum air for me...

Made my own handlebar mount (CNC cut stainless) that mounts under the turn signal housing on the left hand side. It has the switch for raise and lower (hand never leaves the grips).

I have the Legend system on two bikes. While I am not unhappy with them nor have I had any problems with them (3 years on one) I thinkI would tend to now look for a system that has separate action for air pressure and ride height. Probably either Platinmum or Progressive. One thingI really like about the Legend is the control switches on the handlebar. They integrate with the stock controls the best andare ergonmically set in the right spot to do adjustments while you are riding. See attached photo.
Eddie, where is the compressor installed? I don't know where I would put one. I have an compressor for the air horns in the cranny forward of the battery, PCIII under the right side cover, and a cruise-control motor under the left cover. I don't want any more crap under the fairing, for sure.


On the Road King it is under the battery box. Go to the Legend web site and I think you can download their installation instructions.

If you're looking for a smooth ride, the Platinum is definitely king there.

I recently installed the Platinum "Bleed & Feed" system & itprovides amuch better quality ride than the Legend system on my buddies EG

Noooooooo!!!!!![sm=signs006.gif]
You can do a search on this forum for Draggin Baggers and find an earfull. Stick with the companies that know what they are doing. I dought Draggen Baggers has made any advancments since this time last year. They were using Monroe Corvette shocks. If you go this route do some research.
Were the problems related to the shock length? or the company?

I followed PRIMO's advice and went with the Hi-Lo system and like others have said - "I couldn't be happier". I love my system and I use it ALL the time. When I'm cruising down the road or when I park it. Either way, I wouldn't change it for anything.

All in all you can't go wrong with the Platinum system, Legends, Progressive or the Hi-Lo system they are all quality systems that are highly regarded and well known in the industry. As long as you don't go with Draggin' Baggers system you will be OK.

Remember the old adage... "you get what you pay for". And IMHO that statement holds true for the suspension options you have.
