Default HD Premium Shocks or Air Ride?

Trying to decide on switching out my stock Hand adjustable shocks on my 2014 SGS for air ride? Can anyone tell me the Pro's and Con's? Is there any benefit to going to air ride shocks?

Saw two Guys outside of the dealership recently, one of them mentioned something about His air ride. I asked Him how He liked it. He goes "Hey Man, come over here and let me show you this!"
We go walking in that direction, and His friend tugs at me and says "Act impressed. He has been waiting around for at least 4 hours to show them to somebody".
So there we stand, watching the bike go up - and then back down. People staring at us as His friend and I go "OOOHHH --- AAHHHH!"
He never mentioned the ride.
I don't think it really mattered to him.
I guess it's all good...

I just installed the Arnott Bilstein air suspension. I couldn't be happier with the ride, or the fact that I get a lot of attention when I drop it at my destination. Some people claim that the ride is too harsh....not so at all for me. I am a big guy however, maybe that makes a difference? Totally pleased with it though. Big props to Drew at Hogpro for a sweet deal!!
