Default Harley shock pump for checking tires?

Just wondering if anybody is using the Harley shock pump for checking and adjusting tire pressure? Thanks

No. I don't have enough patience to pump as long as that would take to put a few psi in a fat Harley tire. If you were on the road, and put a plug in a flat tubeless tire, that little pump would probably take over an hour to get enough pressure to ride on, but I suppose if that's all you had...

No way! It has tiny capacity and will take forever. If you have one then try it. I only ever used a bicycle pump for my air suspension, but wouldn't try that on the tyres either!

Default Checking and filling bagger tires

One of the worst things about Harley design is the tire valves. Checking a filling the tires was driving me crazy till I got one of these: Accu-gage - Chek A Spare, Valve Extender
Problem solved. Keep it in my bag at all times. Just thought I'd pass that along cuz I can't believe I'm the only one who's been annoyed by this.

I use my pump to check pressure but never tried to fill a tire using one.
