Default Suspension air pump question
Quick question, does it inflate tires?

The air volume is deliberately very small to match the capacity of the shock system. You'd pump all day to fill a tire but in theory you could do it.

What I mean is topping up a few psi, not trying to inflat a completely flat tire lol. I just installed a set of air shocks on my dyna, the pump seems pricey for shocks only lol. Btw, is the air chuck nozzle flexible? It looks straight to me.

The tube is flexible rubber hose and it works fine for just bringing the tires up a pound or two. But like Seph said, it takes a while.

Oh, and its definitely the easiest way to adjust the shocks. I don't think you'll regret getting it.
