Take to the dealer and have it fixed properly.

When they hand you the bill, just say "Thanks but no thanks. I will let the warranty cover all these charges."

I don't know anything about Tri-Glides but what you call an "overflow bottle" is usually a coolant reservoir that coolant can be added to instead of pouring it directly into the radiator. Check your Owner's manual. If you're losing air pressure in your shocks, it's probably a leaky connection. The shocks on my '04 RK might lose a few pounds over the winter but I top them up with the Harley air pump and have never had a problem with them.
As has been said, contact your dealer about warranty service - don't just roll with it until the warranty expires.

No air loss in my shocks. like previously posted take it back to the dealers and let them fix it under warranty.
