Default Garage Air Pump
I would like to get a small portable 120v Air Pump for my Garage spefically to use to keep the tires of my motorcycles (56 pan,75 Shovel, 07 flhtc) properly inflated. I am not looking to get an air conpressor.
Any Suggestions.

Thanks,

Gigg

Go to any hardware store, auto part store, or even wally world and buy one. Or you can always do the neighbor thing and borrow one and don't return it.

Sears has a number of compressors. The small pancake units are nice for filling tires and other general purpose uses.

The Sears Industrial unit is nice. It fills up quickly unlike many others.

I was looking for the same thing a while back.Something to fill tires with only.
I went to sears during a sale and bought a 3 gallon Craftsman air compressor for $89.00.
Now i use this not only to fill tires but to also clean the bike, blow dust of knooks and crannies. It works great to get dust out from the outside of the windshield and the outer fairing bead.
Get a small compressor! U You will find you use it for many other "bike issues"

I use the "Slime" one. Many sizes. Just for tires. Rechargeable. Bought it at AutoZone. Has gauge on top. Works like a charm. Sorry for the short sentences.

Another vote for Sears. Another option is Harbor Freight. Their stuff is cheap but should be fine for your intended use.

Thanks for the information I will look into possibly getting a small compressor from sears. I am also intrested in the Black & Decker air station especially because it runs on AC & DC. I need to find one and see how big it is. If its small enough I could pack it on the long trips we take.
