Making it easy to add air to tires and accurate tire gauges are not in the interest of HD or any tire manufacturer. During bike week a few yrs ago a Dunlop Rep gave me a handful of tire gauges. High to low they varied about 20#s. All measured to the low side. If your tire gauge is not accurate or consistent regular testing is a waste of time for the most part. A $5.00 tire gauge is most likely not going to be as accurate as a more expensive one.
My '09 RGU with the Knuckles wheels was such a pain in the *** to check tire pressures that I bought a set of Street Glide wheels. Problem solved. Think about it, some of the tire wear problems may be due to improper tire pressures. Hope this helps.

I got one of these. It makes checking and filling tires much easier.

I don't know about the rest of y'all but adding air to the tires of my 17 Ultra has been a pain in the !@#.
That is until now. I didn't want to drop over $30 for one of those fancy Motion Pro tire chucks; plus with the mixed reviews they got I was very hesitant to buy one.
Iv'e seen the other threads on how to built one but wasn't motivated enough to buy the pieces and cobble something together.
I was at Napa today and saw this one for $15 so I bought it and it works great and is easy to snake around the brake discs get the air into the tire!
Napa P/N 90-519 , $14.99 at my local store.
