Air Suspension.
« on: November 07, 2013, 08:54:26 AM »

Hi Guys,
I'm looking at adding Air Suspension to my 2012 CVO Convertible, have been looking closely at the Legends L3-C!
Anybody have experience with this or can advise on any better option?
Thanks,
Charlie

My question to you is: Why do you want air suspension?  Stated another way: What do you want to accomplish?  Some want easier maneuvering while parking; others want easy adjustment for different loads, or increased ground clearance in the twisties, or just for looks.  Let us know.

In the meantime, there have been several threads about air shocks recently, and many more over the board's lifetime.  Check these two from last month:

Increased ground clearance in the twisties is the main thing im looking for, the adjustment for different loads and great looks are a nice bonus!

To those who know, my question is do any of these shocks stop at 13" instead of 14? I don't have the extended bags so no need to be that high plus my inseam runs out pretty quick.
