air shock pump
I have a question. Is a bicycle frame type hand pump ($16) with pressure guage from walmart just as good as the hand pump from the HD dealer ($60) for adding air to the road king shocks?

I tried going this route also and couldn't find a bicycle pump that had low enough readings for the shocks. The HD pump is worth it. You can find them on craigslist and ebay for the half the price.

I bought a bicycle pump for mountian bikes. The pump is for the front shocks. There is a meter on the pump so I don't over fill my tires. It worked fine and did not take up too much space. Since the purchase I changed my shocks to progressive, not because I ruined the old ones, but because the old ones had a slow leak and I go tired of pumping them up. When riding two up they tended to bottom out. This no longer happens with the progress shocks.
