It is worth it. You can also buy the Progressive one(who makes the H-D one) and save a couple of bucks(depending on where you buy). Some people have even bought a small bicycle pump to use.

Word of warning: DON'T use it to try and inflate things like a kid's bicycle tire. You will blow the small rubber o-ring inside the pump from the heat created. And you can't just buy an o-ring that size. Don't ask me how I know.

Yep, a little pricey but worth it. You need one anyway so just get it. (Unless you can borrow a friends) That reminds me, I need to get mine back!

I bought a $20 cheapo unit off ebay. Works fine but had to grind just a bit off the fitting to get it to open the valve when screwed on.

I've got one and it works great. Just compare the price of the pump to replacing your shocks if you blow the seals because you had to use a different method.

I bought the HD one. Seems well made and works well. I used it on my 96 Road King and now on th 08. Probably could have saved a few bucks and bought some other brand but I don't regret the HD one at all.

This is the right tool for the job and is very compact and easy to pack.

No need to remove the left side bag. Just open the lid and then there's plenty-o-room for easy attachment even for my oversized fingers.

The guage is accurate and there is virtually NO bleed-off or loss of air at disconnect.

This is so simple and easy to do that it litterally takes 1 minute to make an adjustment.
