RE: arnott air ride big price drop
Funny you should ask. I've been eying these for my V-Rod. Rumor has it, there is a new control that they developed, and are testing. It has 3 pre-sets that can be programmed in. One for "salm" one for "one up" one for "two-up" riding. I like the idea that the air springs are over a traditional oil dampened shock.

Brian,
They offer two different styles. I think the one you are talking about is an air bag, like a Legends system, only the Arnott is built on a Bilstein. The other is an air system that has an internal bladder and I think those are still $999 +/-. Mopar7 has a set. Arnott use to have a set that was built on a QA1, fully adjustable dampening but they have discontinued selling them. Those would have been sweet.
I wish there was one definitive system out there, an easy choice. I was thinking of designing a systems using car shocks from the 70's so I could be draggin' my bagger....hey that might be a clever name for the product!!![:'(][:@]
Seriously, I want an air ride system but have no idea which is the right way to go. AirFX, Platinum, Arnott.....

That’s not the same shock I have but would want to know what the difference is. It looks like the air bag is exposed and the one I have is covered. I would have to say I’d be real pissed if they were the same other then the cover. I will call them tomorrow.
Bart, What’s up with this system? $300.00 drop in three weeks? [sm=wtf.gif]

RE: arnott air ride big price drop
Mopar are there two different inlets on your shocks. I have the platinum system and you can set the ride pressure and height independently. Ihave had no problems (well I dropped the compressor from the mounting strap, butI am thinking it was because of the way I mounted it) I just wished it would lower more when I am parked. I guess it is good that when fully lowered it will not bottom out in case I ever drop pressure or blow a line on the road, but I just want that slammed look when showing the bike.
