Air ride

[Nitro2299]

I would like to install Air Ride on the rear of my 1300 S. Does anyone know of any kit i can get and where?

Here's a link to one offered by KewlMetal through Phat Performance Parts website:

It's pricey though...might be able to find a better price checking out some of the other internet suppliers listed in this forum (probably not much better, maybe a little though). I knew a guy that had an air ride system on his Kawi Vulcan Mean Streak; he ended up taking it off and putting Progressive's on it since he didn't care for it much.

my wife's HD electra glide has air ride on it and i would much prefer the progressive HD shocks

bgrd1, on your wifes hd is it a fact of the air ride is too soft or does not feel comfortable to you ? asking because im thinking about putting the barons kit on my 1800 f. the kit i was thinking about has a monitoring / bleeder to keep same height and all while riding or can be rode fully slammed on bump stops but i imagine that would be rough. also have u and your wife ever both been on hers 2 up with the air suspension ? curios since my wife likes to hop on from time to time. ty in advance

I had front and rear air shocks on my 900 customs and it was alright but I don't think its worth a thousand bucks or more. Mine was factory installed and it was still a problem! My two cents!
