Free bump for reply. I think the price is very fair. Consider this. I bought an aftermarket air pump back online in 2011 for my RK. While it works okay, the gauge isn't accurate at all. If I pump up to 50 lbs (maximum recommended) for carrying a passenger and gear, then check it with my HD tire gauge, it's 10 lbs off. Luckily in my case, it's 10 psi low. Just as easily could be 10 psi high.
Not saying HD's gauge is better, but if you blow out the seals using the HD gauge, they will more likely warranty the shocks and replace them whereas if you're using an aftermarket pump and blow out the seals due to an inaccurate gauge, well, I think you'll be paying for the new shocks.
