Heck, he might even have a new bike by now.
The thread revival got me. Usually I look at the dates, but I obviously didn't this time. Oops.

Default My problem

My 2010 Ultra Classic has Air Suspension with a onboard compressor. I would keep the pressure at 120lbs PSI (this bike has a “training wheel” setup so I have the keep the drive wheel firmly on the ground). The system would hold the pressure for several weeks. Last time we took it out the pressure was at about 60lbs PSI I pumped it up and it immediately started to bleed off. Now, over about 2 minutes it will bleed back to 60lbs and hold there. I’ve checked all the connections with soapy water and nothing shows up. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Since this is an older thread, you would likely get more, and better responses by starting a new thread. There's a 'suspension' section under the mechanical subsection. That might be a good bet.

He did that, but did not get any response.

So he has asked the question in this old thread, and another one.
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-pressure.html

I believe the reason is because he does not have a factory stock setup.
His air setup isn't like the normal air shocks.
It is obvious he has an air leak, but having a hard time finding out where.
