Default Shock air pump

It irritates me that the silly little air pump one needs for the air shocks on a 2001 RK didn't come with the bike when purchased. After all, you can't use your shop air compressor or one at a gas station. I have a foot operated tire pump that won't work because the connector won't work with the shock valve stems on the bike. The darn pump should have been mounted in the saddle bag someplace. I can't believe you have to purchase it extra! That's just awful.

One last thing and then I'm finished. It's like buying a car and finding out later that you need to purchase the jack seperately.
