Like I said I normally run 15-20 lbs solo. I know what the owners manual says, I'm just trying to figure out if I have a pump or connection problem. After pumping the shocks up to 25 lbs. I disconnect the pump. When I reconnect the pump, my gauge reads zero. I'm thinking it should register whatever lbs are in the shocks. Others have said that too. I'm looking for a leak somewhere or maybe a faulty pump. I haven't used it too much.
I haven't ruled out 'operator error'.
I'm a long way from a trike, thanx.

I got the HD pump and I am not happy with it at all. Its hard to use with the saddle bag or tour pack on and it seems that I lose air when I take it of the fitting. I wish HD made a small compressor with a gauge to only adjust the rear shocks.

I have had this one for a couple of years, and it works well.

Buy whatever you want that works. Whats wrong with buying aftermarket stuff if it does the same thing? I dont go to the dealer to buy oil and filters for my truck. I go to Napa. So if you can find a cheaper one and it does the same thing buy it. Better yet look at ebay for a used one. Then you will still get the harley name and pay a little less.

Yes the pump should register the poundage once it is screwed on sufficiently so if it does not it has a problem.

BK agreed to refund my money, less a 20% "restocking" fee.
Open your wallet, shake out the moths, and go for the Harley pump.
