I need a source
You guys have been so good about helping me find stuff quickly I thought I'd throw this out there.Does anybody know of a place online I can order the screw in air valves I need for a set of bagger air shocks? I'm not talking about the flimsy plastic shrader valve setup that comes with the shocks.I want the all metal screw in valve stems.I know some auto parts store carries them but can't remember which.

Thanks I guess I'll give Napa a try.I'm layed up for a couple of weeks recovering from some minor surgery so I've been ordering a bunch of stuff for my winter make over online but it won't hurt me too much to go into an actual store.

Here's some more information on the air shocks below. The chrome shocks that I ordered above in my previous post had a couple of problems.
One problem is mentioned above. I used individual Schrader valves, which brought my attention to another problem, one of the shocks will not take any air, almost seems like the port in the head of the shock was not drilled all the way through.
So if your using the Harley set up with the single Schrader valve splitting off to both shocks, chances are you wouldn't notice the decreased air capacity of one shock not taken any air.
Recommended air pressures
0-10 lbs for a 150-lb to 200-lb rider.
5-15 lbs for a 200-lb to 250-lb rider.
20-25 lbs for a rider with passenger.
FL air preload rear suspension range is 0-35 lbs of pressure.
FLHRS and FLXH low-profile shocks are 0-50 lbs max.
Harley Davidson, air valve, and hose set up
(One Schrader valve that splits off to both shocks)
54536-02A air shock valve / hose
54320-97 push-in hose fittings (order two, one for each shock)
Individual Schrader Valves

I did the same but used the shorter Street Glide shocks. Much smoother ride, really takes out the road chop. I use a air compressor with a regulator set at 40 psi to fill them, then use a pressure gauge with a bleed off valve and bleed them down to 10 psi. Only modification to make them fit is to trim the rubber boot where it attaches to the shock so that it doesn't interfere with the belt guard, might be better just to shim the shocks out about a 1/4".
