A really simple way is get a Slime Air Compressor and Plug-n-Go mushroom patch kits....the Compressor even comes with a wiring harness for Your Trike Battery.....this has gotten me home several times on various Motorcycles and Scooters....very small and compact also.....:wtg:

Well if you are talking about the one on the bike YES and know . If you want to use that on board compressor you might want to do it while you are sleeping or having lunch . I bet the rear tire would take an hour to re fill. I bought an air hose from <a href="http://www.Chromeworld.com" target="_blank">Honda Goldwing Motorcycle Parts and Accessories</a> .Better yet go here <br />

No. Its not configured to act as an axillary air source for your tires as it is mounted and plumbed just to air the rear shocks. I called Motor Trike today to ask about modifying it for dual purpose use and they said that any modifications to the pump system would void the warranty for that component. Id wire a 12v outlet and keep a 12v portable air pump in the trunk..that or a can of fix-a-flat or green slime.

Short answer NO:

My MotorTrike has the air bags and a factory hose for tires.(?) jimsjinx

OK so they sell the hose, I have a small hose with a connector under my right side cover. You R saying that I can use the hose to pump up my shocks.

I already have a plug coming thru the side panels that I plug my slo-charger into. It also plus into my 12 volt air compresser. I use it on the tires and the air shocks. It pumps my air shocks from 25 lbs to 50 lbs in 1 minute. Front tire from 38 lbs to 41 lbs in a minute. It only cost $12.00

It does?? <img src="images/smilies/confused.gif" border="0" alt="" title="huh??" class="inlineimg" /> Where is the FACTORY hose at? That little compressor they supply is not designed to do so. Good way to burn it up.

You can not use the compressor on an 1800 kit to air up your tires. The 1800 originally has a hydraulic pump to control the factory mono-shock. During installation that is removed and replaced with an air pump to air up the air bags. The 1500 is totally different. It came stock with an air compressor and rear air shocks and was designed with an auxiliary hose that was located in the right side saddle bag. During installation that hose is relocated to a new location and can be used to air up tires etc....
