there we go...a little honesty 
in the interest of being a good sport: I asked the seller a few questions and he said 15,000 miles & set up for 190 lb rider

Yeah, a forum member got it. It's ironic that riders balk at paying for suspension (I was one) but happily fork over big bucks for hollow steel tubes with some fiberglass stuff in the end.
My wilbers shock calls for a rebuild between 20-30K miles at $90-125 service charge.

Fully adjustability Penske is worth the bling.
I am just saving for a new one.
It seems every bike I have owned I upgrade the forks and rear shock to make it "right".
THen I upgrade the brakes.
I never seem to upgrade the motor.

No I'm a HVAC tech nitrogen is an easy thing. I deal with high pressure
liquids and gases all the time. I have used my manifold guage set to recharge many reservoirs.
Hell for that matter you could prolly go to your local gas dealer and pick up a 40 cu. in nit tank and a regulator and be
filling in no time ...

Regulator and tank are easy.. It's the set u0p to attach to and fill the shock.. Not as simple as a tire valve air chuck.
Being able to precharge the gauge, hose all the way to the needle valve is the key.. You get a perfect charge with zero pressure loss when you disconnect the set up.

found this surfing: Standard dry air is mainly composed of three gases: nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 21%), and argon (about 1%). Together, these three gases make up 99.96% of dry air.

Oh, that make sense, but does this? If you're not racing and just doing spirited commuting wouldn't you be okay with just air cuz it's 78% nitrogen?

Well nitrogen is DRY and normal air is not so you would have to deal with possible corrosion. Also the normal air may react with the oil turning it acid
or what have you to many variable's just use nitrogen and all will be well
