Ive got scuba tanks left over from the paintball days. Put a 3000 psi co2 regulator on it and it works good for tires.

 

I also have a #10 Co2 tank but it's a hassle to get it filled!

 

I have a good compressor in the shop and carry a co2 cartridge tire inflator. Only propblem with the co2 inflator is I can't find genuine HD air cartridges for it...

 

Here is what I use.

 

I carry the H-D one the plugs into the battery tender pigtail. I has the built in gauge which, over the year since I have had it has proven to be accurate.

 

Me too, having air available at any time is a big plus. You can use it off the pigtail or the 12 volt on the touring bikes. SJ Ron

 

Use a hand held pressure gauge. Even a new one could be off a little. Buy two and still can be off. Always check pressure in shade, always when tire is equal to ambiant temp. Never ride to a place to check or adjust PSI. When ambient temp. drops 10 degrees, tire will loose 1 PSI and never return. If you get a compressor with a tank it might say to drain tank mt because water will condense. Don't want water in tires. I keep all my tires to maximum pressure (cold) tire folks stamp on side of tires. Might consider using nitrogen if you can trust folks deflating and inflating your tires. Use it in my car and truck but not in Heritage. Air and Dyna Beads do bike just fine.

 

I guess because I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer is the reason I don't understand the question. Do you have a bicycle pump with a built in pressure guage? It really doesn't matter what you use to put air in the tires. You can use a hand pump or a monster compressor, you just need a good pressure guage to check the pressure, which you should do quite frequently.

 

I use an 80 gallon, two stage compressor.
