    Arnott Suspension, Why the HIGH Price for Goldwing

    Was considering to upgrade to Arnott Air, and the F6B is the most expensive system they offer,

    The Harleys all have 2 shocks and are cheaper, the older Hondas are all cheaper. So why price gouge us?
    I wonder why we are the special ones on pricing.

    I could see the justification if they had a upgraded gauge system included, no that is ala cart.
    Must be a hd compressor for my big butt. Gonna give them a call and see if they can sway me away from my progressive install.

    THAT IS SOME SERIOUS COIN FOR A SHOCK!

    Sometimes price reflects production costs. For example, maybe when they shut down the assembly line to switch over from making Harley shocks to Goldwing shocks, they might have just finished producing 20,000 Harley shocks, and now they they are shutting it down to make 40 Goldwing shocks. Each shut down is 4 hours ... or 4 hours of no production. The shutdown cost is part of the cost to build each shock. For the GW shock, the 4 hours of lost time has to be absorbed by only 40 units.

    They are WORTH the money !!!!!

    I have 2 Arnott shocks in a German built car that I drive everyday. I replaced the OEM air shocks with Arnott, they are worth every dime.
    Arnott is the number one aftermarket air suspension shock producer preferred by owners of German built cars. I have not experienced a Arnott shock on a Motorcycle, however my experience with their shocks on my car has been perfect.



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    Sometimes you can do better buying from a vendor.
