Suspension / Tire pump

[Gary N.]

I just bought a hand pump for checking automotive cooling systems for leaks and I think it could double as a Venture suspension or tire pump with some easy modifications. All that would be needed is a hose end that would thread on to a schrader valve (from an old bicycle tire pump) and a 60 lb. gauge. These pumps are well made from brass and would last a long time. They are a little large for taking along on the bike but it could be done. I got this one at Princess Automotive (Canada) for $59.95 and I'm sure Harbour Freight would probably sell the same one for much less in U.S. $$.

There are pumps specifically designed for this purpose. The one I boutht has an anti leak valve on it so it does not bleed off any of the 7 lbs of pressure in the forks as you remove it. about the same price as well mike

Mine was only $45 at my local Harley dealer.

Yes, but will it fill a flat tire or check your cooling system for leaks? You missed my point. I was just thinking out loud, but sometimes that can be a little dangerous.
