There's a couple different ways you can go.You can either get an air line kit from Harley for an Electraglide or Road King.Or you can go to an auto parts store and get a couple of Schrader valves and air your shocks individually or you can use the schrader valves and some hose to make your own kit.Airing the shocks individually is a hassle but it almost insures you won't have any leaks.The more fittings you have in between the air and the shocks the more opportunities you have for leaks.

I would recommend not using the air line kit. It takes less than a minute to screw the air pump on, check the pressure, and pump if needed.
I've read on this forum, and personally know one person who's gauge showed as though the shocks were holding air, but one shock was actually not holding any air at all. Since the gauge is reading both shocks at once, there's no way to tell if one shock is having issues.
