RE: air suspension pump

I agree with the others here. The HD pump works exactly as designed. Well worth the money IMHO.

RE: air suspension pump

How often do you guys add air?

Mine dropped often this summer. I have to add air ( 5-15 lbs) every 2-3 weeks. That seems a little often to me.

RE: air suspension pump

The pump is a must and should come with all air shock equipped bikes, in my opinion. Adding a few bucks to the purchase price to cover the pump would not have insulted me.

Itâ€™s kind of like buying shoes and then separately having to purchase the shoelaces.

Has anyone out there purchase a HD air suspension pump / gage? Is there a safe way of adding air without it? So far I've had the dealer do it during service.

I bought one from the dealer ($34.00) since I could not use any other air pump on it. The fittings are set so it makes it hard to use any other pump. I have bicycle pumps for my road bikes (cycling) and they did not work. It does work great though for what adjustments you have to make.

RE: air suspension pump

Got one the other day. Super handy and no air loss.
I know that it's up to the rider for the comfort level but how much is typical for solo vs. riding with some luggage on the bike?
