I just purchased a regular aluminum bicycle frame pump with gauge. Seems to work pretty well, plus, it fits nicely in a saddlebag. It was only $12.99 at the local cycle shop too!

Got mine from BKRider on EBay for 30 bucks delivered to the house. Works perfectly.
Make certain that you get one with a 60 lb guage.

Stiggy he doesn't need one with the 60 lb. gauge. His bike's an '06, and his shocks don't take as much air as the newer ones do. To the OP, I acutally use the Harley version and it works well. Much smaller than a bicycle pump, and you lose very little/no air when removing the pump from the valve stem. I've actually seen others in J & P or Dennis Kirk that cost more and don't work as well.

I only suggest the 60 lb guage because on EBay the other option is a 300 lb guage that is useless when trying to read between 5 and 20 lbs. ( for example.)

I run 10 lbs in the front, and 18 in the rear, ( I've purchased the 09 and later shocks for my 2000,) and I find the pump to be totally readable...
