Condor Posted April 20, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2010 One of the things I didn't get with the '99 was an air pump. I found one on Ebay. Anyone else use this one?? Good..bad...ugly?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted April 20, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 20, 2010 That's basically the same as the Progressive one which is about $50 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted April 20, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 20, 2010 I have the Progressive version. Costs more, looks the same. There's also a 0-15. Looks like a large syringe with a gauge and hose. I have one for the front shocks. The lower pressure gauge makes it easier to match up sides more accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massey130 Posted April 20, 2010 Share #7 Posted April 20, 2010 One of the things I didn't get with the '99 was an air pump. I found one on Ebay. Anyone else use this one?? Good..bad...ugly?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I came across this one as well and purchased it. i am very happy with it. i can read zero to 25 pounds easily. i have used it for my front forks and my rear shock. it is nicely built. the only thing i am going to do is super glue that little black band that holds the hose in place. it will slide up, down, lef n rite. i think i did a write up on it for this site, but that was about a year ago. i would have to search. i am lazy today, though.

Seaking Posted April 20, 2010 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2010 One of the things I didn't get with the '99 was an air pump. I found one on Ebay. Anyone else use this one?? Good..bad...ugly?? I use a similar type which I use for the shocks and in emergency to top up the tires.. it takes a lot of pumping for the tires lol.. There are some pumps out there that read in 10 psi increments which would be safer / better to use but can't find one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted April 20, 2010 Share #9 Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Bummer, Do you have a link to the 15 lb pump Please? thxI found it listed here. I didn't buy it there, but that's the pump. Progressive makes (made?) several sizes. That's the lowest pressure version. I couldn't find it on their web site. I left a message asking Progressive about them, but haven't gotten a response yet. I'll update here when I get a response. I heard from Progressive. At this time the lowest they're selling is a 0-30, so for now whatever 0-15s are out there are it.

bamico Posted April 21, 2010 Share #10 Posted April 21, 2010 Much like others have said, the pump you show looks like the Progressive I have. Paid ~$50. Mine goes up to 60psi in 5psi increments. I find it handy as I can do the front and rear suspension with the same pump. It is a little less than finely accurate for the fronts (5psi increments). Has a decent screw-on connector so you don't have to worry about air escaping when you disconnect the pump. I do suggest buying one. Allows you to adjust the air in the shocks to your preference depending on passenger/cargo weight. Also, I'd imagine you may know this, but it bears repeation. You only want to fill the suspension with a low pressure hand pump. Going to a gas station and trying to fill with a car tire pump will surely blow the seals. Good luck with your purchase.

Condor Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share #11 Posted April 21, 2010 Well, thanks everyone for the feedback. I went ahead and popped for the pump.... Now all I have to do is figure out how to pay for it. I hate these sellers that have to use a payment system other than what's offered by Ebay. I left a message on their phone.. Calif Company... and will talk to them in the AM. Yeeesh!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted April 21, 2010 Share #12 Posted April 21, 2010 If you can't find a lower pressure air pump, for greater accuracy, you might want to consider this. At least this way you'll be putting the same amount in each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
