Enhanced Smooth Ride Air Suspension Kits for Touring

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Merritt Island , Florida based Arnott Motorcycle Air Suspension has introduced two new , enhanced , Smooth Ride kits for ‘ 90- ’ 08 and ‘ 09-present Touring models that feature a thicker monotube shock than provided in previous versions . A larger multi-ply Goodyear air spring holds more air - providing additional adjustability and greater comfort ; an aluminum cover protects the air spring . Operated via an onboard VIAIR high output compressor and micro-toggle or optional handlebar inflation switch , Arnott says the kits offer more than 3.10 inches of travel ( 13 inch extended , 9.90 inch collapsed ). At the core of the system are the two customvalved 13 ” nitrogen charged , monotube shocks with an Internal Floating Piston ( IFP ) that separates the gas from the oil , eliminating oil foaming and cavitation - “ resulting in a better ride and less damage .” Using a patent-pending design , “ Arnott adds a rugged Goodyear air spring to allow the rider the flexibility of setting the height of their rear suspension based on their weight , size , road conditions , load and riding preference . “ Arnott pairs the shocks with a small but powerful compressor , custom-designed application specific mounting bracket , and air distribution valve block which includes a muffler to control how fast air is released .” Arnott also says it uses VOSS airline fittings , nylon airline tubing , a protective nylon split loom and fused wiring harness and relay assembly . Each kit includes everything needed for a “ fast and flawless installation ” including user manual , fused wiring harness and relay assembly , all necessary tubing , cable ties , fittings , bolt covers , protective aluminum covers and mounting accessories . Using aircraft-quality billet aluminum , each shock is backed by Arnott ’ s Limited Lifetime Warranty .

The South German accessories manufacturer ABM has added to its WUNDERKIND-Custom parts program with these new universal fender struts with integrated LED turn signal and rear light / brake light combination unit . Christian Mehlhorn , owner of ABM / WUNDERKIND , says that “ a conversion of the rear fender usually requires new , reliably accurate struts to give the fender stability . Then the challenge to place indicators and the rear light where they look great and work well , with the cables routed as discreetly as possible . “ We have done all that for you . With nothing to cut or weld , this is a complete conversion kit , right down to the high-grade E-tested LED unit that is seamlessly integrated in to the design at the top of the strut , adjacent to the fender for maximum visibility and a great , clean fully functional look .” The M6 thread on the taillight housing
www . AMDchampionship . com allows attachment to the fender without visible screw heads ; the housing and strut itself can be rotated for different angles and a single M8 thread screw secures the strut securely to the rear swingarm . The struts are black plastic coated for durability with the wiring running internally . The kits ship with all necessary hardware .
