He said "took me about 4 hours and just shy (of) a 6 pack".

According to my calculations, that's 5 beers in 4 hours, hardly impairing.

Just installed the Arnott on my 10 RG and the ride is a lot better than I experianced when I installed the same system on my 06 SG but it takes longer to pump up the shocks for some reason

Mine has a slow leak I cannot seem to track down. The setup on my v rod is 4 years old and holds like a champ. For some reason on my SG it just wont hold.

That's what i wanted to hear Tags. Dropping bike off today to get them put on. I have ABS so I heard the compressor has to go in the faring. I already had the legend switch put on when getting new bars a few months back. Want to see the pics of the gauge that you put on. Im still wondering where mine is going to be.

do you have any pictures of the guage and switch combo i am very torn myself between the legand air ride or the arnott alden system the handlebar mounted switch from legand looks very clean but i would want a apg as well so if yours is a combo that may be the way to go

Ok gotta ask, you can't see the gauge going down the road right? I've thought about replacing the air temp gauge with an air pressure gauge on my Road Glide.

I replaced the air temp gauge with a psi gauge from Egauges.com in the fairing so I could monitor the psi in the shocks. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/VDO-150112/

You have to pump it up then use window cleaner around all the fittings and look for bubbles. you have to spray the window cleaner not pour over fittings to see the leaks. If you find leaks use pipe thread sealant.

yes the fairing mount gauge would be allot easier to see but the extra labor for myself pulling the farring and running the wires up there wasnt worth it for me.. a quick glance down you can see the neddle through the top of the gauge.. the plastic face of the gauge isnt flush in profile it pertrudes out just enough too see thru the top..
