Default Front air suspension

Hi, does anyone know exactly what has to be removed to access/expose the front air suspension connections. I can hear it leaking near the neck of the frame
when I add air and want to check it out. I just don't want to start removing things that I don't have to remove to get to it. Any help would be appreciated.
It's a 2000 Electra Glide Classic. Thanks

Need to take key switch out and the cover under it to at least see where its leaking from. Procedure to this some where like manual. Have quick notes in my mileage book as I've done it many times. If u need it I can look it up later.

Default Same problem

I have the same issue with my 2000 Road King, leaking left airbag on front fork, fender hitting on bumps (it was lowered by previous owner).

Stock, both forks share a common fill line.
If it leaks, both sides lose pressure.

Usually removing the line from the push / pull fitting and cutting off the crimped end and reinstalling will cure the problem

Is there an easy way to verify if my 2000 EG Classic is air for front suspension? I have a leak at the bottom of one of my forks and bought the rebuild kit but now I am reading air……🤷🏻‍♂️

Welcome to the forum. The parts drawing below indicates what you have. Only the factory rear shocks have a valve stem for the air.
