Default Rear Shock Issue

I have a '02 Road King Classic that I purchased last fall with only 5,000 miles on it. The rear air shocks will not hold air. I'm looking for a fix or a solution to my problems. Thanks in advance for your help.

Inspect hose + fittings. Check the valve core. Use soapy water if needed to detect leaks.

If you can't visually see any oil from the shock itself then it would stand to reason there is a leak in the air lines/fitting some where...
If you want to lose the air lines altogether get some shreader air fittings and install 2 in the shocks and bypass the shocks altogether...
