Thanks for that link. A shock pump has been on my "to buy" list for awhile now and I always forget about it until I need it. Just bought one through this website. Just under $26 shipped.

I put 13" air shocks on my 06 street glide from 09 ultra to gain more travel and better ride. What air psi should I be running single and two up?

The Moco seems pricey, but it is a decent piece and works well. It only takes a few pumps to get pressure and allows you to bleed off excess easily. No air loss when disconnecting. I am very happy with it.

Ok, really dumb question, but I just got this pump. The gauge reads 0 to 400 psi/30bar. Now looking at it everything looks exactly the same as the harley pump that only goes up to 60psi. 30 psi on this pump from 0 takes like 10 pumps of the pump itself, and really the needle just moves up a bit. Does this seem right to people, or perhaps is the gauge reading a different unit of measure? Sort of a tough question, asked poorly, I know, but I don't want to overinflate the shocks so I figured I would ask.


Here is the info from the website.

Sette Air 2 ST-35 Universal Shock Pump
Accurate Inflation Designed for Today’s Top-Line Air Suspension Components.

The Sette Shock Pump is a high pressure, low volume pump that is perfect for adjusting air pressure in suspension components. This pump is capable of reaching pressure as high as 400PSI/30BAR, it features a durable aluminum construction and easy to read analog gauge with bleed valve, to insure you get correct readings every time. One feature that this pump has that others lack is the 2-Stage Non Leakage Valve Release System, this valve allows the user to engage and disengage the pump with out air leakage. Brass fittings and a stainless steel braided supply hose make this one of the nicest pumps out there.

Thanks for any help.

I have a couple mounted on my road bikes and have used them without any problem. Various types some have a 6" tube and some fit over the valve. The tube is the easiest to use.

If you are on I-40 east bound in Oklahoma there is a tank rack bag in the ditch with a new HD one in it with some other stuff. ^*#$(@$%.

Got a mile marker for me??

[QUOTE=dawg;8731783]http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/162...Shock-Pump.htm[/QUOTE

I need a pump. Since this gage goes from 0-400 PSI, would the gage be accurate at low psi settings?
