Factory recommended pressure front and rear. Looks like I'm gonna get about 15,000 on the front. The rear was replaced when I bought the bike so I have no Idea there. '05 883C

I run what is on the side of the tires. 36 in the front and 40 in the rear. This is on an EG Classic. I am going to get better than 11,000 on the rear, and probably 20,000 on the front.

Regards,

Bill

I ran 30 front and 36 rear on Avon's. I now have Metzler's and my local wrench said I should use 38 on front and 44 solo or 46 2 up. I was hesitent at first but bike actually feels great and solid now. Tim
