shocks on 2008 110 Road King? I thought i seen a

Your dealer sells suspension pumps. Drag Specialties also sells one made by Progressive.

I have that pump and it works well. I think there are others for a few dollars less. I bought mine during one of the Christmas promotions so buying HD was important over an aftermarket. It is very good quality though.
I like that you can screw the hose on and nothing leaks out. I've heard some of the aftermarket pumps will lose just a bit of air during the on/off process.
Good luck.
BUT..... Whatever you do, don't use your air compressor. The volume of the shocks and lines is so little that just a touch could blow a line fitting.
Sorry, I had to add that last comment.

If you look in your owners manual, there is a chart on how much air you should run if you are solo, two up, and or have luggage. My experience is that the chart is a little on the hard side. I run a little less than what the book recomends. Ideally though getting rid of the stockers and replacing them with a set of progressive's or bub's would be best. Just as soon as i find a bank that has money in it or hasn't gone belly up, I'm going to get me a set. :orange:

I have one by progressive suspension that does the trick. Had it for about 8 years now. THE MUFFMAN

Progressive says their pump won't work with the '08 SERK because it mounts in the space occupied by the ABS.

What we're talking about is a hand pump for putting air into the stock air shocks. The pump Progressive is talking about is their compressor for their ride-leveling shocks.
