HD Air Pump
I recently bought a 2009 Road King. I have read several articles and posts about air pressure in the shocks. My question is has anyone used a manual pump other than the HD pump. The ones Dennis Kirk sell only go to 30 or 35 lbs. The HD manual recommends 50 lbs for my setup riding 2 up. Does anyone know other companies that sell small pumps with a gauge on it for less than the HD pump that reads more than 35 lbs.

Hi
I bought and just receive the Progressive Suspension air gauge. Works perfectly and is less costy than the HD one. I read that Progressive made it for HD somewhere in this forum. Make sure you select the GP3-60 model up to 60psi (max pressure for my RKC is 50 psi according to manual).

Hope that helps not too late.

The Harley pump is $50, and will read up to 60 pounds. Has s built in gauge snd pressure release. The pressure release is a very convenient way to get the perfect pressure.
IMHO...you can't go wrong with the HD pump...and there is not much to save for the functionality.
Again...my humble opinion..your's may vary.
