ROFLMAO!
&nbsp\\;
People spending $20,000+ for a bike and then another $3,000 to $5,000 on crap that is not needed, quibbling over saving $20 on a frigging pump that is a must for any touring bike.

Have to agree with xcelr8 on this one!

you don't buy a bicycle pump you need a shock pump, went to the bicycle shop and identical to harley has gauge and all that crap $20.00 just ask for a shock pump not a tire pump.

Watch that air pressure. It should not go down that fast. Next time you go to the dealer have them check it. There's probably a leak somewhere. I could be a loose connection or bad valve. The H-D airpump is a little expensive, but it is the exactly right part for the job. That has got to be worth something.

I also bought the same pump as posted on that eBay site: It would not screw on all the way on the air stem.
I did finally make it work when I relocated my air valve...

Is it just me or does it take only a few pumps of the HD pump to reach 20 lbs? Doesn't seem right to me. [&:]

If by a few you mean 4 or 5 strokes that does not sound right at all.&nbsp\\; It looks like you aren't getting the air into your shock system.
