Default Rear Air Shock

I'm tired of pulling the saddle bag on my 05 Road King to check the rear air pressure. How can I move the valve to where I no longer have to pull the bag?

I think Harley makes a relocation kit for that...I could be wrong...but I think I read it somewhere....or maybe aftermarket?

I can get to mine by simply opening the bag lid.
I have the HD pump and it works just fine.

i've seen guys that have kept them basically in the same spot but just moved them up a bit so that you can access them with the bag on. Doesn't take that long to remove the bags, but if you really need to you can always extend the air line and install the fitting elsewhere on the bike.

You might try looking for an extension or elbow for the valve, it could make it easier, Id start with truck stops and RV dealers.

Like Astro says, I just open the lid and can get to mine, I keep the pump in that bag so it isn't an issue.

Are you talking about the soft bags or hard bags?

An extension (ebay) mounted into the saddlebag filler.

Couldn't you just get a package of the air hose from HD ($14 for 25 foot), and relocate the valve wherever you wanted it?
I bought a package of the hose and re-routed mine (the air hose, not the valve) after going to the solo seat setup, as to hide the air lines. The couplings on the connectors are a no-brainer. Depress the red connector and pull the line out.

Here is a kit that turns the valve up.

Here is another I like better. If you only need one, the seller says to contact him, he has those as well.

A thread on extension hose is available at a plumbing supply house. They come different lengths and are used for inflating the test ***** used in a system pressure test. Haven't bought one for years so I can't give you an idea on the price
