air gauge and pump


Recommended Posts

i did a search and guess i'm more challanged than i thought. the search thing dosen't like me or something cause i don't get good results, and yes i tried modifieing my search.done some research lately and found that i need two if not three different air gauges.i based that on the theroy of getting a gauge that is in half of the zone. Ie the forks max p.s.i. is 7lbs so 0-15 would be correct,tires avon rear max 50 p.s.i so 0-100 would be correct.i guess the rear shock would be the same as the rear tire,my question is why would i need two different progressive air pumps(0-15& 0-60) when the 0-60 would work on both ? since i'll be useing two separate gauges.the pumps coast around 42-47 dollars and the gauges coast 14-21 dollars.my finial and guess real question is,could i not use a bicycle pump(small tube style that goes on frame)to work on the forks and shock? sorry for the drawn out gibbresh.

I think this is what you are looking for.

You're looking for a "zero loss" air pump for the front forks and rear shock. Any tire gage will work for the tires. The forks require so little volume that it's hard to get just the right amount without loosing pressure just checking. The zero loss pump does just that. Never try to fill the front forks with a regular air compressor. You'll blow the seals. My understanding is Harley sells a good one but you can find them probably on Ebay also.

Go to your local dealer and ask them to find the page in their Tucker Rockey parts catalog under tools in the suspension system section with these part numbers 07-0605, 07-0661, 07-0660, 07-0662 those are the pumps from Progressive they range fro 0-30 psi to 0-100 psi, pick the one(s) that suit your needs. Should be in the $35.00 to $40.00 range from a reputable dealer.

 

This link should take right to a copy of the page.
