Touring Suspension Air Pump



http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

This pump was designed to allow safe and simple adjustment of the front and rear air suspension on Touring motorcycles. Unlike a bicycle pump or a fuel station air hose, the hand operated pump with controllable "micro bleed" valve allows precise adjustment to air volume, and the "no loss" air connector maintains shock pressure when the fitting is removed. The 4.5" swivel air hose simplifies valve stem attachment. The aluminum housing is compact, lightweight and durable, and fits easily into your bag for "on-the-road" adjustments. The high quality 0-60 psi gauge ensures accurate air pressure.

part number: 54630-03A

For use with Touring Air Suspension components. MSRP US $46.95

You should just get the HD suspension air pump, part number 54630-03A. Lists for $46.95 plus tax. Expensive, but works great.

You should be getting 15% off all accessories and such for a month at least anyways. Buy the HD pump. It works.

Thanks for your help. And yes being a man I tend to overdo things--if a little is good-more should be better!

Just get the HD model, works great. You don't need an air compressor to do what you porbably did, blow your shocks.
