nitrogen in the tires? i was wondering about this since my dealer charges $7 per tire for the nitrogen. i think it is lifetime, meaning, they will add nitrogen for free if needed. only issue is that i would have to go to the dealer to add nitrogen and they are usually pretty busy, so it would suck having to wait around to use an "air" hose.

are you guys using official harley davidson air? there has to be some sort of adapter that can be used. hadn't thought about the airing of those tires on the multi spoked wheels. how bout perhaps a small bicycle pump? does the harley air gauge fit the air nipple on the 09's?

a note about nitrogen. you're breathing about 87% of it now. how do you think they evacuate the other 13% of other stuff? i have heard stories of how fantastic nitrogen is for tires. i don't get it. people will claim that you don't have to add air as often as the molecules of nitrogen are larger and won't seep out as easy as air. what part of air are the talking about, the 13 or so percent of the oxygen and other matter? each to his own.

Now the question is: WHO sells a 90* air chuck??? Someone had said Sears does so I went there a week or so ago but they didn't have it. Now of course the salesman just may not know so if someone has a PART NUMBER I'll order it from them. I usually do all this at home in my garage.
Got mine @ Lowes.
