amike just curious, but was there a reason you didn't go with the 13" since you could lower it to what ever height you wanted but would have had that extra 1" in case of curves or a really rough road (not trying to be a smart *** ) I'm looking into the same setup but in the 13" size, how does it ride compared to the stock setup and how bad was the install, any pointers? GREAT looking bike by the way!!!

I went with the 13 inch on my 09 Ultra. I wanted to be sure that it would not rub the back tire if it failed so I could still ride home. 09 has clearance issues and I added a centerstand. I will rulb the centerstand if not raised up to 13 inches when going over speed bumps. Ride is great. You can ride lowered or all the way up or in between. Best thing is lowering it and getting better traction when backing up or in sand or gravel. Arnott system is great. I also recommend the optinal switch and small guage on the Arnott site.

gilbos440rt...you have a really good point and to be honest, I didn't consider it at the time. The bike started life as a Roadking Custom, which came with the 12" shocks, so I went with the 12" air shock.

I installed the gauge yesterday and am still playing with the air pressure for the best ride.
