Does the Harley Touring Suspension Air Pump work on tires too?
Apologies if this seems like a noob question, but does anyone know if the HD hand pump work on our tires too?

so no, not practical- it's a syringe.
you can get a small electric pump ( "slime") at walmart or autozone for under $20
packs small in the saddlebag
NEVER use a full size pump on the shocks- it's too easy to over pressure.

+1 on the mini air pump. I even bought the "slime" tire plug kit to stick in the bags with it as well and i still dont think it cost me $20.

I am considering the slime airpump, but is that battery powered or does it require a ciggy lighter attachment? Something i don't have of my ride.

And just to clarify, i ride a sportster. The reason i'm looking to buy the HD handpump, is because i might be installing the stock RK air shocks on my bike.
And given luggage that space is going for a small premium on the sporty, i just wanted to see if the hand pump can pull double duty in an emergency to inflate a flat (in conjunction with a proper sealant of course).
But thanks for the feedback everyone, that it's likely to take forever.

Has someone actually used the electric air pump regularly?
I've found quite of few of those tend to blow fuses. You guys using battery or the fairing outlet (which I don't think is recommended).
