suspension air pump

[Sunman]

I am looking for a hand air-pump for the suspension on my '06 RSTD. I found one that had a pressure gauge attached, but it was a 150 PSI gauge, and the range that I would need, was so small I could not get an accurate reading. Can anyone suggest a good air pump for our bikes, and a company that has a decent price on them? What PSI range should I look for ? I figured 50 PSI max reading would be fine, since the front is so low, and the rear is 40 max I believe. And in another thread someone mentioned a pump with a 'Zero loss' chuck. I have had no luck sourcing that out on the net. Any help most appreciated. Also, what kind of pressure should I be running in my rear and front shocks? Here are the stats, I am 250 lbs, mostly ride by myself, but on occasion I have a 125 lb passenger. Any suggestions?

Check your local Harley-Davidson dealer. They have the Progressive pump with the "Harley" logo on it. I believe they have two different ones, 0-30 and 0-60. Get the 0-60 one. Believe it or not, it's cheaper at the Harley shop than it is from Progressive. I think I paid $40.00 for mine...

My harley dealer has them in stock for $43.95

I have the Progressive 0-30 PSI and I got it from Dennis Kirk 10 mile s up the road.

NO shipping. About $40.00 or so.

 

I also bought the kit that links both fork legs together so it balances the preasure. ~$20.00

 

7 PSI max front

 

Hope that helps

I like the Dennis Kirk guage. But be careful with the item number you order. I accidently ordered the 0-100 psi which doesn't do you a whole lot of good:

 

• Five models of gauge-mounted pumps are ideal for low-volume, high-pressure systems (i.e. forks, shocks)
  
• Each Micro Pocket Pump has a 2 3/4 in. stroke and a 9 in. flex connector, with a built-in gauge and bleed valve
  
• Lightweight and easy to use; each stroke adds .7 cu. in. of air
  
• A special connector prevents air loss when connecting and disconnecting
  
• Available in:
  0-15 psi: 28236
  0-30 psi: 28234
  0-60 psi: 28235
  0-100 psi: 28224
  0-300 psi: 282090

Lateralvibe, I have responded to all of your emails, and sent you a PM as well. I am not sure why you are not getting them. I do want the pump, and I just need to know how much shipping is to Hamilton, Ontario Canada. My postal code is L8W 2Z5. Thanks for your time.

Sonny,

 

I do not know what the deal is with the PM or the e-mail on my end, I'm getting neither.

 

Thanks for following up.

I'll get a quote for shipping and get back to you.

 

Thanks, again

Just got my suspension pump today, thanks Lateralvibe!! It seems to work fantastic, I only put about 12 psi in the rear shock, just to see how I like it. Thanks for helping me out. 3 cheers for lateralvibe!

Sunman,

 

A pleasure doing business with you, I'm glad the pump is woring out for you and fills your needs.

 

Hope to actually get to meet you one of these days.
