I haven't put any air in my rear shocks and have a fairly stiff bump when I go over RR tracks. The manual calls for 0-5 lbs for a solo rider. Should I add a little air and see if this helps or leave it with little or no pressure.

Yes, put some air in the shocks. That bump is the shock bottoming out.

 

Check the manual but 5 lbs seems low. Mine is set at 10 lbs but I also weight 235lbs.

 

If iremeber right there is a different table in the owners manual for the FLHX. The street glide uses a shorter shock then the rest of the FLH's and I think the air pressures are a little higher then the other bikes.

 

Im about 185 and I run about 12lbs in mine. mine was set at 0 when I got it and was bottoming out all the time. 10-12 lbs is about perfect for me.

 

I'm 240 and i run 18 with or without the wife 110.

 

I'm 205, set mine to 8 lbs when solo.

 

I'm 240 and run 10 lbs.

 

Iadjust mine frequesntly and mostly ride 2-up. Me 235 her 130, we keep it around 25, any less and she really feels it.
