I had an FLHRCI and a SG, and that's how I did it for both.

 

Roll it forward or backward to get the valve stem where you need. Even if you had a lift (assuming you don't based on your post) it's a PIA just to air up a tire.

 

i usually remove the right bag too.

 

Roll the bike till the valve stem is on the bottom, A long double air chuck works best.

 

I have an ultra, and I just roll it until I can get to the stem, lay down and put in the air. Best and quickest way I've found when I have bags on.

 

Try having a Glide with 80 spoke 18" wheels on it! The gas station air pumps (as they are straight), I can't get to the stem to pump it up. I typically take it to the indy shop where I do most of my work (recently I stopped at Discount Tire and they were able to get to it with a hose.....)

 

I pull my car along side my bike and plug in my car air pump. I just roll it untill the valve stem is where I can get to it. I guess I have to ask. What other options do you have? I check my tires a lot. If I find one low, getting my lift out and jacking it up each time one is down a pound or two would be a pain.

 

buy an air compressor, makes life so much easier...also good for drying the bike too

 

UUUHHHH YEAH. Roll the bike till the valve stem is reachable.
You should put air in the tire with the wieght of the bike on the tire anyways.
