I picked up one from Harley; it works well, is small enough to put almost anywhere on a bike. When you attach it to the air fitting and detach it, you lose no air. Cost around $45.00 up here in Canada. Should be less in good old USA.

Regards and such,

Should be part of your regular maintenance.  I check the air in the tires once a week, coolant and oil once a week, and the air in the suspension about every two weeks. If a shock leaks down, it's not a big deal, if a tire does, well...that's a whole different situation.

Now, get the correct pump and check it often... you check with the pump!  Progressive shock pump... get the one with the larger scale.

I read on this forum about peoples issues with shocks. Before purchasing some progressive hd's, I thought I would swing by the dealer and have the air pressure checked. I requested 30lbs and I have the pre-load set at 3. I am a cowboy size guy.

Surprise! The technician handed me the keys. All done. Only 5 minutes and n/c. How much air was in them when he checked? You guessed it. ZERO. No wonder I was occasionally bottoming out.

I have always said the Drifter has a great comfortable ride. Now, I REALLY mean it!!
