Since I store my bike on the Sears Yellow Jack inside my Harley Bubble, do I have to adjust the tire pressure for the increased altitude and pressure?

You have to use factory air or your tires will go square check your manual.

Damn I'm just glad we were not looking for the right month to change the air in the shocks of an Ultra.I use only HD air so not to hurt ESP, or mess up the chrome on the kick stand.

You never should change the air by color, you change by taste.

No. Slight vacuum will suffice. Have your ol lady apply lips to valve stem before stokin' the pump.

Just a quick heads up. My bike had a bad wobble in the front end after I did my last air change.

Turns out I got in a hurry and used rear tire air in the front.

I should have known better.

You're welcome.

Just got done playing in the garage. There is snow on the ground so I can't ride so I did some tinkering and maintenance. Checked the temperature of the air in my tires and all is well at 45* but I did have to rotate the tire valves.

I'm in need of a new set of muffler bearings tho...where can I get a set at a descent price?

No, you're wrong. The Houten Kinuber valve only works with a 1st or 2nd level gadpack, which will compress the air molecules so there won't be any corrosion on the zeetz.
