Thumbs up Harley Suspension Air Pump

I got one of those little hand pumps made by Harley to set the air suspension in the rear shocks on a bagger.

I like it ok and it is easy to use while the regular air pump at the gas stations push out too much air to fast for these little Harley shocks. I keep mine in the saddlebags.

Default Pump

Yep, I got one of those little pumps too. With the very small volume of air involved it is the best way to adjust pressure. You also do not lose pressure when you remove it, that's a big plus.

What are they and what do you use them for?

When I need air in my tires a small pump won't cut it.

It is a small hand pump for increasing the air pressure in the factory air shocks and forks. It wouldn't be much good for tire pressure.

Do you fellas find that the air pressure slowly fades if not maintained? I know my tires always do.

Yep, I've got one of those pumps too. Real handy for what they were designed to do.

What can I say. I guess she's a cheap date for you, SteelRider, even if she is a bit of an airhead.

OK this started our as a great thread - and then you guys went entireloy in the wrong direction.... good thoughts however....

I like my little air pump for my rear shock - hadn't thought about it for the tires but I don't think it would push enough air - I might give it a try however - but it is too slow on the doll..
