Arnott Air Shock

[rudymsmith]

Has anybody installed the Arnott Air Shock for the F6B on the F6C Valkyrie yet?
results?

Man, that setup is not cheap.  I am not sure if there is a difference between the shock we have as opposed to the F6B.  It may look the same, but the length may be different.  Too expensive for me to try it.

Update:

The full wing shock number is 52400-MJR-305
The F6b shock number is 52400-MJG-305
The Valkyrie shock number is 52400-MCA-305

The pictures all look the same, but the full wing shock has an external damper.  That bad boy may just fit.  Although, I am not sure where you would install the pump.


It looks like WingStuff carries a progressive spring for the wing.  It may be too hard for our bikes though.

For $1,500 I better get an ounce and a half of gold with it.

This is the email Arnott sent me:

While the shock assembly may be same between the F6B and Valkyrie, our kits are more than just that.  Take into consideration all the other parts included with our system. Those parts were not designed to fit a Valkyrie, the compressor mount especially.  Unfortunately we don’t have a Valkyrie to test the kit on so we can’t know for certain if all the those other parts will mount up properly.  You’re welcome to try the kit, see if it works out.  You may have to get creative mounting the pump and running the lines as our Goldwing instructions will not match up with a Valkyrie though.  And if it does not work out we have a 30 day full refund of parts return policy.

My goal is to be able to lower and raise the bike on the fly making it much easier to go from a lowrider while stopped at a light and a comfortable ride while cruising along.

If it is feasible, Wingstuff has this suspension on sale for $1214.99

I live just down the street from Arnott.  I sent Ken a email offering my Valk to develop the kit, after the hurricane. 
I will keep you all posted if he responds.
