Up for sale is ARNOTT 2007-2009 FXSTSSE CVO Softail Springer Harley Davidson AIR SHOCKS FOX SERIES BLK 01-17 SOFTAIL. The vendor part number is MC-2908. Please read the title to know what is for sale Arnott�s new adjustable Air Suspension System for the Harley-Davidson Softail � has been custom designed for the Softail frame to provide the rider with superior control, ride comfort and height adjustability. The kit, featuring Arnott�s TruAIR technology, includes a rugged air spring bladder and is not an air cylinder or air-assisted unit. Arnott includes a powerful compressor and black anodized cover which attaches to the regulator rectifier to hide and protect the compressor.
First the positives. The combination of an air bladder and a fox shock is by far the best ride that money can buy. This system is also fast.
Now the bad. The mounting system for the compressor is very unsightly. I bought this system knowing I would not use the included compressor, and mount. On any bike with a stretched front fender it will never work. I ended up using a smaller compressor and hiding it underneath the swing arm pivot.
I have owned multiple air rides on softails this is by far the best setup as far as the shock/air cylinder, but I think arnott should go back to the drawing board with the odd looking mount and overly enormous compressor.
