You are putting Non-Harley air into your shocks! Just kidding

 

Schwinn air!!!!!!!

 

i don't trust the regulator/gauge on my compressor enough to risk blowing seals on the shocks. it's easier to just use the hd shock pump.

 

I saw a rear shock air gauge for a touring bike advertised in a back issue of Bagger Magazine. It was a nice looking set up, you could tell at a glance how many PSI you had in the system. It mounted to the bike by the back end of the seat. I let my nephew have the magazine and forgot to copy down the company name. Has anyone installed one of these gauges? Are you happy with it?

 

Any of the mountain bike air shock pumps (Rock Shox, Answer/Manitou, Marzocchi) will work fine. New air forks usually come with their branded fork pump, and mtn bikers are upgrading their components almost as much as we do our motos. If you go by a local bicycle shop that sells pro-level components you might find that somebody just didn't bother getting the pump when they upgraded their front fork. That's how I got the one I'm using now and keep in the saddlebag.

Free is always (or at least usually) good.

Later on, I had to replace my Rock Shox Reba SL fork (29er frame broke and the warranty replacement had a tapered headtube that wasn't compatible with my existing fork) and picked up a new pump in the process, so I keep one in the saddlebag and one in the toolbox.

'fooz

 

i just flip my compressor on for a second and let it get to about thirdy pounds and shut it off, then i put the air in and just keep using the gauge until it gets to 15 pounds for one up riding.

 

Pump, pump, pump...BOOM!

 

That's the one I bought long before they came out with a Harley branded pump.

 

You sure about that?! They have had one since at least 1984.....

 

+1 that
