on an 03 electra glide. want to add air for 2 up but cant find it

 

They are on the right rear fender strut. If its an Ultra you will have to take off the Tour Pak. Be careful because they only take 3-10 lbs of air. If you put a regular air compressor on them, you will blow the seals! You need a low pressure hand pump.

 

He means the right saddlebag, not the Tour Pak!

 

It's on the right side behind the saddlebag, you shouldn't have to do anything with the tourpack, but you will probably have to remove or at least tilt back the right saddlebag. The older shocks will take up to 30#, I think, it's been a while, but I know it's more than 10. You do need a hand pump with a gauge because they take a very low volume of air, a manual is your friend.

 

Run 25 lbs in my '99 for two up. Do not us a compressed air hose or even a standard bike pump you will easily blow out your shocks. Get the HD pump its made for it.

 

I found it on the other right. In other words it's on the left side not the right.

 

no owners manual huh ?

 

Not on an '03.

 

My 99 is on the right hand side.

On the 2007 there is one valve for the rear shocks on the left side (as you sit on the bike). If you open the saddlebag lid and tilt it back you can easily access the valve. On my '99 Ultra I believe there were 2 valves (front and back suspension) on the right side (as you sit on the bike). Same deal. Tilt the saddlebag lid back and access the valves. Don't know what year they were moved from the right to the left side.

NO COMPRESSORS!!!!!Very very small volume of low pressure air required.
