Amazon has several that are just as good quality as the HD. I use the one from Alphamoto and it works great at half the price of a Harley pump.

Cool

I couldn't get the 'proper' Harley pump when I bought my first 'air' Harley. Been using a small bicycle pump ever since with no problems, along with a separate pressure gauge, for over 20 years now. Works fine and until recently I had air both ends. Don't make mountains out of molehills.....

The guage doesn't read low enough to use.
Most mountain bike air shock use around 150 psi.
You Harley only uses up to 50 psi.

Therefore you can never check the pressure in the tire or shock or whatever you are checking without first pumping it up higher than the current pressure level. Now on a tire with a larger volume of air that's not too big of a deal, but on the shocks it's actually quite useless.
