if any one has a broken compressor laying around i need part 12 (its the double male end brass piece that screw into the compressor itself)

That should be a standard metric coupler that you should be able to find online...

Similar subject about the air compressor, my front holds air, but the rear will need to be aired up on a daily basis. any thoughts???

[jasonm.]

that's an air joint(hose) coupler. forget Lowes or 99% of the big box stores. Try a true value hardware store. It's likely metric..thus it's not easy to find. I have similar parts off "air" sprung forks. We would need to know the thread size/type. You can figure this out using bolts that thread in.

so i just took a closer look at my compressor and just noticed my hoses dont match the diagram.. i have a hose with one male and one female end and one hose with two males. does my bike have the wrong assembly for the year?

 

 

oh and daitan i would find out it the rear shock was leaking or your valves are not closing right, i that issue with mine ecept it was the front loosing pressure and i turned out my dessicant was so saturated i had water in the valves and was mucking up the system.

 

so first get some de-greaser clean the hoses and rear shock till you could eat off them then try spraying it with soap and water like your looking for a tire leak if nothing from any connections or hoses i would try and block off the rear hose output with a bolt and an oring and leave it overnight and see if it reads in the morning. if it still has pressure in the morning i would say bad shock and if its empty i would say you've got a valve not closing right

You got a leak! Use soapy water to find it then fix it.
