Where did they store the pump? I wondered if they ever installed a compressor that would self inflate the shocks.

Don't use air compressor to air up the shocks! They only require 10-30 lbs PSI.... can blow out real quick if not careful. I have the small hand pump to add air. As far as air systems, no idea. Thought I had read somewhere there was a on bike unit for this.

All the HD air shocks have a very small air bladder. That hissing sound when you remove a regular air chuck will be a loss of 3-4 PSI. The HD hand pump features a no loss attachment that closes the schrader valve before unsealing.

[QUOTE=roussfam;21525471]Nope. Why would you want one?
Well, let`s say your wife is fat and your GF is not..
FWIW, those shocks are shared with Honda G-W which had an onboard compressor
