I was working on trying to find a leaks on my air shocks when I came up with this, go to auto store and buy the valve stem caps that show green,yellow,red depending on the air pressure. It won't work for higher pressures over 36 psig but it will be a quick visual if the shocks have at least air in them. These apps come in different pressures but I only found 36 and 32 psi.

Took mini LED tap lights and put one on the back inside of each saddle bag, awesome lighting that runs on 3 AAA batteries and cost only $3 for the pair. better than paying for the harley light kit.
