Thread: Arnott air bags

Don't know about Arnotts.But i would be taking a spare of any brand if i was towing any great distance

I would pack an original bag. Changing a bag on my classic is easier than changing the whole unit.

Put the arnotts on ebay.

Thanks for the feedback but has anyone actually used the Arnotts bags and did they live up to their crappy reputation.

I have never heard about this bad reputation. For p38 owner Arnotts bags are the ducks guts and are supposedly the only bag that can handle the extra load after giving them a 2 inch lift.

Are there any more of these cheap bags available? I am in the process of pricing Dunlops for spares, but would grab Arnotts in a flash if the price was right.

I concur with the preceding post. Arnott's are the DB's as far as I'm concerned (P38 owner).

Unfortunately I happened to have horrible results with Arnotts bags and would never touch them again. Mind you this was a few years ago and they may have improved. The issue was that the ring that held the bag on was slipping and on mine the rubber bag bulged. After my original bags started to develop leaks, i bought a set of Arnotts bags, installed them and these failed by leaking around the ring. They then sent me new ones under warranty but these were just as bad even though they said they had made modifications (so obviously there were a few bad bags out there) I went and got OEM bags after that and they have been fantastic. I can't down load the pics from my phone so I will try to do it later.

Are you running them? There are absolutely horrible stories and reviews.

Not had any trouble over 4 years of having them on. They've been great. Most P38 owners I've talked to recommend them.
