Try the soapy water trick to track down the leak. Tire shops also usually have other liquids even better for finding slow leaks in tires. If you spun the valve stem you may have loosened or damaged the air lines at the fittings.

I think that is what he has been saying. You are dealing with soft plastic stuff here. It looks like about a $50.00 fix from the hog store.
Reminds me of all the guys who want to replace their rear shock covers which were splitting. Harley won't sell just the rubber boot covers without the shocks.
