Default air suspension pump

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 it was around $30. Using a compressor will blow the seals from what I have been told - luckly I do not have first hand knowledge of that

Yes, the H-D issue works great. Can you fill them without it? I suppose so, but the pump H-D makes does the job very well!

You must use the HD Pump. If you try to use anything else all of the air will leak out of the suspension system when you disconnect the air chuck.

The HD pump prevents air loss while disconnecting the chuck.

Me too I tried a 12 volt compressor but the air leaks out before you could unhook it, I bought the HD pump and it works great and is easily stored in thee bags. It sure akes riding two up more enjoyable.

I tried with a compressor and then with a bicycle pump. I got the HD pump - problem solved.
