harley shock pump?
is the gauge on the harley shock pressure pump the most accurate ?
because if i check my tire pressure with my tire gauge(2 dif ones)
tire gauge reads 40 PSI...put shock pressure gauge on and reads 37 PSI?
i assume the shock pump gauge should be most accurate
anyone know for sure

what made me check...was i had rear tire replaced...he said check front PSI for me...said was at 37...where he runs his... i had just put mine front at 40PSI...according to my guages....
so i checked with shock pump....it read 37PSI..... si i check AND ADJUSTED 3 TIMES.... everytime came out 3 PSI different....both my tire guages read the same and shock pump guage was 3 PSI less everytime....
so i decided to try on forums for opinions LOL

Cost is a big factor in accuracy in a tire gauge.
You didn't say how much you paid for your tire gauge, those pencil style gauges are know for being off
FYI.........The tire gauge I use for my slicks at the track, was $65.00

I don't know if it matters, but, the shock pump is low volume, low pressure. Most auto pumps are high volume, low pressure. Most bicycle pumps are low volume, high pressure. So, that being said, the gauges may have different settings based on the various expectations.
Just a theory, but, I do notice my bicycle gauge reads differently than the gauge I use on the HD that also reads differently from the gauge on my tire inflator.
