I'm adding air suspension to the Fatboy, anyone had any experience with Platinum or any other air suspension system. Thanks for any help.

I put a Legend on a 2000 Heritage in about 2003.  IMHO the ride improvement was very minor if that is what your looking for.  It was also hard to dial in to optimum.  Good Luck.

I had the Arnott system on my 2005 Fat Boy and was pleased with it; check real close for any rubbing on the rear tire and know that you WILL drag the boards quite a bit if you're aggressive in the curves and don't have the system pumped up.  I was able to mount their switch one of the bolts to the outer primary so was readily accessible.

When I later added a belt drive I moved it (did not want to blindly reach into the belt drive area!) and just had it loose below the seat accessible just above the oil tank.

The compressor slides in under the battery box on mine that is. But since the changes with ABS etc don't know if 08 and newer is different.

Basically the same for the Arnott.
Like trying to put 12 gallons in a 10 gallon jug though.
