Default Factory weight cap. on stock shocks?

I have a 09 superglide custom and am wondering if anyone knows what the stock weight limit is on the shocks. I have thought about going with an air shock...anyone have any ideas?

Hi, The total weight that the manufacturer says you can put on the shocks is the gross weight of the vehicle minus the gross value weight of the vehicle. Both of those numbers are in the owners manual and you'll probably see that according to H-D you shouldn't have more that 350lbs worth of people and gear on the bike. Hope that helps!
