Getting ready for the MB bike rally next week. Went to the local HD shop in Rocky Mount NC. Finally got the air pump for the air shocks...cant beleive it took me 3 years to get this tool. Anyhow put 12 lbs on the rear shocks and 20 lbs on the front. The service manual says 25lbs and 35 lbs max respectively) for a EG Ultra. I figured that is close enough to start with. Rode in to work this morning....WOW what i difference. The bike rode better, seemed to be more stable. Best 30$ i have spend in a while...the cost of the air pump.
So all of you that have been considering purchasing a pump...do it...you will not be dissappointed.

 

How are you adjusting the front shocks?

 

There are two 'air valves' located behind the right side saddlebag. Remove the bag. The front valve goes to the front shocks the rear valve to the rear shocks. Just connect the air pump and give it a few pumps. The built in gauge is a great feature. Here is the HD link to the tool: Part #54630-03A

Yeah, the earlier bikes had front air shock adjusters as well. The 2006's (maybe even earlier, someone else should chime in here) ony have air suspension in the rear.

 

I didn't realize the pre-2006 bikes had front air suspension. I have a 2006, so only rear air.

 

[align=left]I also didnt know that about the '06.

Sorry for any confusion.

 

Just found out thst 2001 was the last year for the front air suspension . . .

 

My 1985 FLT had both front and rear air shock adjustersas did my 1990 FLHS, but my 2003 Ultra only has anairshock adjuster on the rear.
My 1990 FLHS had the front airshock adjuster under the left screw off handlebar grip endcap.
That did get some strange looks from bypassers while I checked or adjusted the ride.
chappy

 

Yup my 02 only has rear air ride

 

It IS an awesome little tool to have. And small enough to keep with you on the bike.
