Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Performance Mods Air ride suspension

Has anyone tried the Arnett air ride suspensions? I'm curious as to how they ride and handle on the highway? They don't advertise anything for Triumphs but I don't see why a shock with a similar length couldn't be made to fit, I'm hot rodding a 1966 Fargo and constantly have to modify parts to fit the odd ball beast.

Isn't a Fargo just a Dodge truck with different script?

Canadian made cars used to be a mix 9of old and new. In the 80s you could have a mid 80s GM car with a rear under it from the 60s. Don't know if it is still that way or not.

I would trade my left one for a Canadian Mercury pick up truck.

Fargo is a Dodge with different name plates and logos. If you own a chev of ford you can rebuild the truck from the ground up from places like LMC, dodge (fargo) on the other hand... Doesn't help I'm building it on a chassis from a 1994 half ton and a V10 engine from a 3/4 ton.

But back to the air ride on the two wheeler... How do bikes ride with air ride, or am I better off with a set of 440's?

I have rode Harleys with air suspensions and I didn't come away impressed. You will have to pack a air pump with you, they tend to bleed down. Any inertia valved shocks: Ricor, Works, High end Progressives or Hagons will give you the ride you seek. All I noticed with the airs was ride height adjustment with the same mediocre damping rate. Maybe they make better ones then I experienced, I do not know, so I can only relate to what I do.
