Has anyone tried to add an air pump to the Road King rear shocks (to make them adjustable on the fly like the air adjustable suspension on some choppers)?
Does any aftermarket company make such a thing?
There are a number of HAND PUMP units available even from the dealer that have a gauge on them and are a no loss air valve, run about $60. Think it would be a project to install an electrical pump.
They look like a large seringe with a gauge on it and work well. You also DO NOT want to use air hoses in gas stations as you will blow the shock. It is low volume/low pressure only
