Default Air Shocks...LOL

Well there are those little things in Life that makes one laugh at himself...on my new 14.... my air shocks would leak down every night...back down to zero..I would put my harley pump on... pump them back up ...leave the pump on..so I could monitor the pressure....check all the fittings...nothing...leave it on for hours no change...take the pump off...next day...no air...so pumped it up ...took off the pump....bingo...the valve stem was loose...bubbles...just would not leak down with the pump still on it was holding the air in the pump.......OH the Simple Things....LOL...Carry On

It's funny that I did not like the ride of my 2012 Ultra Classic so I put Progressive 444 on the bike. Now with my 2014 Limited I love the ride with the stock air shocks on. My shocks
do not leak or if they do its very small. Only checked the air twice.

Has anyone relocated the valve for easier access? If so, where?

That is odd. Did your old bike have the 13" like your new one? I have the stock 13" on my 14 King and seems when I first take off it ride's decent but once I start to work them hard feels like they don't ride as smooth as when the shocks are cool.
Do you feel your new stock shocks ride as good as the 444's did?

I had a 2010 Limited hated the shocks and put arnott aldens air ride . Took them off when traded for 2014 Limited thinking I would put them on but after rining new bike decided to leave stock shocks muct better then 2010 and I think better than the arnott's.
