Air Suspension Pump
Men,
I'm doing my 5K service and want to check the suspension adjustment. I do have the compact air compressor which is used to add air to your tires but this, I don't believe can be used to judge the air in the rear air suspension.
The HD Air suspension Pump (part # 34633A) is $50. I'm sorry but I don't want to pay that much just to check and verify air.
What's a safe alternative that I can use?
Thank you!

OP, pick up a bicycle pump. Some are nearly the same as the HD pump. Or look on Amazon for a similar pump. Or buy one used like I did. You really need to check and adjust the shock air pressure more than just occasionally. The HD pump is no loss, has the guage and folds up small enough to lay easily in the bottom of the saddlebag.

Oh God...DON'T hook an air compressor to your touring air shocks! If you don't have access, or don't want to purchase, use a bike hand pump/gauge...much cheaper.
You connect a compressor to those lines and they'll blow off...you can't pinch it like a garden hose either.

Totally agree. I got the Amazon pump to for half the price. So easy to use on the road and why would anyone ever want to take a chance using an air compressor?? Works flawlessly!
