I have been riding this Season  with Legend Aero A . I have in dash gauge also which is very worthwhile. We ride with 75 to 100 lbs. Depending on load. This is on 2012 skunk. Also went to 13 inch length. The ride is far superior to stock. And the adjustability is awesome. We did a 836 mile day with no complaints from my wife. Have 15k on this season so far and wouldn't change back to hand adjust shocks.

We need a picture of that dash guage!

If you have the Dakota digital gauges be careful the bezel is different on the air gauge they sell compared to the others, I made that mistake and ended up tossing the idea of having a nice air gauge in the dash. :(

Nice!  Is it oil filled?  I actually talked to them a couple of years ago to come up with a bigger guage as the one they had that mounted to the head was tiny. At that time, I went with an Auto-Meter 0-150 270 sweep w/backlit. Seems to be exactly the same with a different face.

Here's a link to the pic from 2011:

I will say that while the guage works well, it's definitely not proportional. Meaning, from Zero air, the guage goes up, until around 50-60 psi, then the bike starts lifting. As the bike continues to lift, it stays pegged at 50-60 psi, until you get to the top of the travel. Only then does the guage start going up from there.  So from that point, when you sit on the bike, the psi jumps to ~75. So within the normal riding range, smally adjustments really don't change the indicated PSI until you change the load (passenger, luggage, etc). You just have to understand the logic and get used to it.  Some folks seem to think the guage would be straight linear, like a bike tire, and that's just not how it works.

Good to see they pursued this.

I got the Legends suspension installed, bum still hurts. Shocks are night and day difference from what I had. I have a lot better ride and much more control on corners but I still need a new seat.
