Air shocks
RE: Air shocks
Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
Progressive (I think) makes a pump just like the harley one. I don't know why you would want something different but your dealer should be able to find the progressive for you.
Check your air pressure and if it is too high you push the bleeder button until you get it where you want. I always add about 1-2 lbs of extra air prior to disconnecting the pump just in case you lose a pound or two.

My dealer carries both the progressive and the HD, and the HD pump was actually cheaper, so I went with it.

RE: Air shocks
Maxium air pressure is 35 lbs. on the rear and 25 on the front..I run 16-18 on the rear and about 4-6 on the front, it is a little soft but with my back injury I can still ride 400-600 mile days on it, and I weigh in about 250 lbs. he wallows a little in the curves but I have become used to it

RE: Air shocks
I've run mine from 5 to 35 and find that with a resonable gear load (toll kit, cover, rain gear, shorty helmet, chaps, CDs, a couple fo towels, etc.) and two up, 15 on the rear (all I have...it's an '05) is perfect....and the shocks don't usually lose air.

RE: Air shocks
I've never played with the various levels...is less air softer? and more air harder of a ride? [&:] Seems obvious, now that I type it, but I'll let it stand to show my ignorance.

RE: Air shocks
I have a FLHT not a Ultra, maybe you don't have a air adjustment on the front, but I do on mine, its right next to the one for the rear shocks, on the right side as you sit on it behind the saddle bag lidpretty easy to see.
