Pain to check pressure on the Burgman - too much in the way and the digital gauge for the car won't fit for the front.

Cager compressors at the service station suck and cost a buck for a fill :confused1:

Whats around.?

Ideally a small 12 volt compressor with a built in pressure gauge and right angle head.
Will pay for a quality one - cheap junk just breaks..:rolleyes:
 
Compressor? I don't understand why so many people with bikes need a compressor. Just get a small bicycle hand pump. That's what I use at the track when I need to adjust my tire pressure.
 
Used hand pump yesterday - 10 pumps = about 4 lb increase - not too bad but was hoping for a compressor with digital read out.....old bones don't bend so good - once is nice.
 
Some newer compressors are more compact and easier to stash than bicycle pumps. Never trust a built-in gauge that comes with the compressor. Use a regular dial-gauge to check from time to time. At home I just use a compressor with a tank, and that's where I have a quality inflator with a gauge. However, the ones that come on $10 compressors are highly inaccurate.
 
Have a good compressor in the garage - what tip is around I can get on the valve stem - need a right angle as its very tight clearance.
Is there anything decent inline for that type of compressor?
thanks

I just use one with a long flexible hose.. That gives me a good range of angles of attack.
