I read your post with some excitement...I do get tired of removing the cover, removing the cap, pulling out the pump and buttoning it all up just to change a few pounds for different loads.
Then I saw the price (and remember looking at this a few years ago) It sure would be nice, but I just can't part with $600 for it. Guess I will keep doing it manually.

When I ordered my Trog kit from Motortrike I spent the extra for the on board air compressor, it has been well worth the money. I have the older setup with a dial pressure gauge.

Yeah, my guess is that if I ever get one it will be one of those "I can't believe I didn't get this sooner" deals.

HD makes a tire valve extention hose that you use when airing your tires. I put that on the air bag fill valve and and zip tied the other end to the grab handle. Now when I want to cheak or adjust the shocks, I don't have to take the side cover. And we are talking a lot less money.

I use the HD extension, mounted permanent , to air the shocks on the wifes TG . Really dont need it much, unless her sister shows up and wants to go for a ride which is happening more often, but it sure is handy. Not worth a crap for airing tires because when you disconnect it you loose some pressure but great for the shocks if you leave it connected.
