Are you sure your not bottoming out? If it’s that much of a ball buster, this could be the case.

2010 with the air suspension, you're probably bottoming out. My 09 Streetglide was doing the same.

No sir, not bottoming out, jus have to run with lower pressure, I guess, thanks.

Maybe the street glide is a tad different, but not sure.

someone told you wrong. use the chart in your owner's manual as a start point, then adjust up or down to suit your preferences.... i regularly ran with 5 psi in my 2010.

40 is way too much. When I had stock shocks on mine I ran between 5-10 psi solo.
