Your compressed air source connects to a valve near the round gauge. Its great because to check the tire pressure you just disconnect the air source from the gauge and leave the clip on air chuck attached! If you need more air you just plug the air source back on and keep inflating. If you put a little too much in... there is a small pressure release button up near the face that you push to release some air until the guage reads your desired pressure.

Anyway, it's a simple guage and makes checking the tire pressure painless. And it comes with a nice little pouch to keep it in. I keep mine with me in the tour pack. I attached a picture of it. Just go to www.getagauge.com and check it out. Best of all... it's only $20!
I've seen that one and was thinking abut it until I noticed the valve. Especially like the idea of being able to attach the compressor hose. Unfortunately, for my Road King Classic, with the spoke wheels, it'd be about impossible to get that straight-up valve on my valve stem. I need one with a right angle. So, I ended up getting a HD guage with the hose and it's a b!tch as it is! Aired up a friends tires on her Fatboy the other day...what a breeze compared to my King!

I check all my rides once a week truck, car, trailer, Harley, and even mower. Oil also. I even do a pretrip once a week. Always think safety first.

When I picked up my bike it had around 25 psi in each tire. Glad I looked! You'd think that would be one of the PRIMARY things they'd check at the dealer before turning over the keys. Silly me!
