Nitrogen gas for Shock = $30 to get rebuild filled - yikes!!!!!! Is there a relatively inexpensive home unit???

 Hello!!!!

I rebuilt my shock and Carmichael Honda charged me $30 just to
recharge the nitrogen gas.  There's little volume (almost no
product cost to them), and the "mechanical process" could be performed
by a 5 year old in a couple of minutes.  

I have to think that I can obtain a NG Cylinder along with a regulator
for somewhere along the cost of 3 or 4 recharges.  Am I wrong?  Anyone
have a source for this set up or a better idea of how to get "charged"
for a decent price?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 You could always refill it with plain air.  Works the same, especially
if your shock has a rubber bladder (I wouldn't use plain air in a
KTM).

 For the KYB shock on my old XR, I used a high-pressure hand pump.
Worked great.

I couldn't see paying that much $ either.

Tire shops fill a whole tire with nitrogen for $3.

I wonder if there's a supply chain model that can move that to Malaysia for
less...
