Thumbs up

I would really like to "Go Green" and find a renewable alternative to air for my tires.

Actually you will have to have Five bikes, One running each kind of air plus plan everyday air. Also all Five bike will have to be matching models starting with zero miles. You better ask for $250,000.00 the CVO Electras are getting pricy.

We will also need a gov credit card for fuel and service expenses.

Dealers are running a lot of 20 to 25% off on winter items.
If your dealer still has any left at the discounted prices, I would go strictly
with Harley air. On the can it says it's made in Canada. It's a lot better than the off brands (China Product). Oh Yeah one other thing.

Last time i put winter air in my tires they froze and cracked....Costly mistake.. Don't do it unless you live south of the Mason Dixon Line and only do it on days that end with the letter "Y"... JMHO!!!

She has plenty for the shocks and tires if she's blonde (So's my wife so that means I should also have a lifetime supply)
