Air Ride

[Batty381]

Hi Guys and Girls, i am trying to decide which air ride to go with as there seems to be alot more then when i looked a couple years ago. I want to do both front and back and have looked at airfx, tricky, arnott and just wondering if i have missed some or if anyone can point me in the right direction.
doesn't matter whaat the price is coz i have to basiclly double it with all the gst and currency conversions and transfers never seems to end. thanks for any help

I can't recommend 1 over the other but a will say that a few years back there was a air ride craze era around here and all but one system that was a home made system were removed and either scrapped or sold. There was nothing but problems with them from air leaks leaving them stranded to adjustment issues making the bikes unstable in most riding situation.

Unless you are doing some sort of show bike that you want to have air capable for show there are better options that are also alot less$$.
If you are trying to make the bike ride and handle better the recommendation from me would be a Roadwing Shock for the rear and either progressive or Racetech (recommended) for the front. The Roadwing is a Honda GL1800 rear remote adjustable shock that has been modified to fit the Roadstar. It can be purchased from a member here on the forum. There are hundreds of us using the Roadwing and love the ride.
