Arnott Certifies Ultimate
Ride Kits for 2018 Touring
models
Merritt Island, Florida based Arnott Motorcycle Air
Suspension has announced that it has certified its
adjustable air suspension Ultimate Ride Series kits
for 2018 Harley-Davidson Touring models.
Custom-designed for the Touring series, Arnott says
the kits have “thoroughly tested for fitment and ride
quality on multiple Road King, Street Glide, Road
Glide and Electra Glide and CVO models.
Featuring nitrogen charged FOX shock absorbers
and a powerful air compressor, Arnott says that
“unlike some kits which use castoff auto parts for
every motorcycle, Arnott kits are specifically
engineered for each make, model and year of
supported motorcycles. The testing process assures
customers that when fully deflated, the kit won't
allow the fender to rub against the bike's rear tire,
provides optimum ride quality over a wide range of
road conditions and fits the motorcycle perfectly,
enabling a fast and flawless installation.
“We design and handcraft our air suspension
systems specifically for motorcycles, ensuring each
product exceeds the highest standards in quality,
functionality and safety. Our Ultimate Ride Series not
only lower the motorcycle for ease and comfort, but
