Doesn't look like it drops it as low as the Tricky or Baron's setup. I prefer the shocks instead of the bladder/bag types. But, that's just person preference.
Also, if you decide to buy... Don't buy the remote setup for $120+. It's $12.00 on Ebay.

I sent you a pm TampaSVT, but how is the ride quailty. Can you still take hard corners. Is it bouncey when you hit a bump in the road.

You wouldn't know the air suspension was there when set it up to ride-height. Rides and handles just like a stock bike. I added a pressure sensor, so it always comes up when you turn the key on. Once there, you can pump it up a bit more if you ride 2-up. Nice and tight.
When it's all the way down (0% pressure), you can ride it, but that's the only time it's "bouncy". Put it up 10% and you can comfortably ride it low. Belt tension loosens a bit, so it might squeal on down-shift if you decide to ride it there. You just have to adjust the belt extra-tight at ride height and it won't happen when riding low.
If you decide to install, shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions on hookup. It's not too bad.

I have a few questions, if you don't mind. Where did you stash the compressor? Did you have to modify/replace the kick stand to keep it from becoming tippy when completely lowered? Who's kit did you use?
Thanks, Paul

The compressor is mounted right in front of the battery. Plenty of room. The solenoid, tee and pressure sensor are right behind the LH cover.
Didn't have to change out the kick stand. Even all the way down, it still leans nicely.
I went with a Tricky Air system. The remote setups can be found on Ebay cheap. Not much too them.
