Stefan - Not high performance but longitudinal durability performance. Such as clutch, compensator, bearings etc,

I believe this is the first year of the slipper clutch.

Desert Wind H-D, Mesa
54630-03A Touring Sus Air Pump $49.95

The aftermarket shock pumps cost about the same as the H-D pump. I did not get the digital pump so I don't have to worry about a battery dying.
I've only used the pump twice. It is a pain as any air/tyre pump I've used is.
Evidently the air suspension likes to bleed down within a week, 1000 miles, or even overnight. Removing a stupid plastic side cover (reminds me of a Honda Shadow side cover) to check the suspension pressure daily is not something I look forward to.

You ought to have that checked for leaks. Many of us go months at a time without having to put any air in.

Sounds like you have a leak in the air lines or connectors. I can go 2 months without losing air in mine. I have a 2016

I had 09 Road Glide that I bought new. It was almost always low on air in the shocks. I just assumed that it was normal. I now have 2016 TG that holds air very well with almost no change from the last time I checked it. Much better. I would suspect you have a air leak if it goes down week to week.

5180 miles 5/2/2017
Desert Wind H-D Mesa

42860-06B (2) Kit-Pivot Pin, GLT/VRSC $10.26
17369-06 (1) Gasket Service Kit, New Style $7.76
63798-99A (1) Oil Filter, Chrome TC 88 $14.95
62600005 (7) S.E. SYN3 20W50 Oil $64.75
5k Service W/SYN3 labor $225.00
Shop Supplies $12.38
Tax $7.78
TOTAL $400.33
PAID $0.00 - The first six services are part of the service contract. Hopefully the contract will break even by the 5th service.

Additional work done:
Adjust fog lamps. I don't have the modified socket in order to adjust the lamps. Strangely the headlight is at it's highest adjustment.
ECM Calibration Update - Warranty update. The engine does not keep a steady idle. When stopping without downshifting the engine has dropped the idle to the point that it has stalled.

+1... I have 10000 miles on my '17 since last September, and not needed to add air yet!

5506 miles 5/5/2017
Desert Wind H-D Mesa

11100125 Kit-Transparent Pint Guard $145.81
Labor $278.40
Supplies $13.13

IMHO the paint guard kits may be garbage. Save your money and in 5 years get a new paint job. After installation I heard a rumor that the material turns yellow and hardens to the point it can't be removed without damage to the paint beneath it.

93600011 H-D Quick Wash $7.95 - This stuff looks like simple green but smells like ammonia. It works for washing the dust off the bike. I bought this for the spray bottle.
93600032 WNDSHLD Water Repellent $7.95 - This is actually the spray and shine stuff. It works to remove the water spots that shake off no matter how long you try and dry the bike.
