    Grumpy,
    My softail has smooth laced rims F & R the rear is a prick to inflate I've used a 12v compressor with success . the hose is quite flexible but you must come in on the belt side.

    hey grumpy, got the same hassles--ive got a 07 kingy smooth rims ---have a right angle gisso I come in from the right side which is easier for me when its on the stand. I have the valve height at about 8.00 o'clock. I have to feed the compressor hose in at around the 6.00 o'clock mark, lying on my belly, pain in the arse, unless i drop the bags. Not ideal but i do it cold at home, to many fucken burns from the wide ovals---it sucks mate but as you know tyre pressure makes all the difference--cheers Grim
