    I have a 99 Ultra Classic with air suspension and have a question. I have just recently purchased the bike and as a result am going over things, had a front end wobble at low speed, 15lbs of air in the front tire and no air in the front suspension. The air lines are separate for the front and rear and are filled manually with an air hose. The hoses are routed just as the manual says. What is the air gauge on the dash for? It appears to have an air compressor on board, neither the owners manual or the shop manual say any thing about it. Does it have a use that I am not aware of?:confused:

    I would call the previous owner and question him/her...I would also bump up my front tire pressure from 15 to 36 lbs...15 is way too low...Mine is a stock air suspension and I run 12-15 lbs in the air shocks...
