anyone with air ride suspension?

[mach1n3]

My question is : does air ride alone lower both the front and the rear of the bike, or is there separate lowering links for the front ?

Air ride lowers the rear. there is a NEW air ride supesion for the front.very expensive! a guy i know at local shop is doing one on his new project bike Busa of course

I saw a bike that had the ARS. He had dog bones in the rear and a lowered front by like an inch.

Lowers the rear but I hear its only good for show. The ride itself SUCKS!


Like I said ... that's what I've heard ...

 

[xzvs]

air ride offers no rebound dampening and has no spring rate
good for cruising and thats about all

Replace tree clamp with a lowering clamp or get risers for the front. For the rear swap out the dogbones to adjustable ones. And if you're going to go 3" I suggest you modify your kickstand or get an adjustable one suitable for that height. Option 2 is better just in case you want to raise it back up some day.
