PSI, FLHX air shocks?

7-10 psi in the back of my Road King solo and yes, the HD pump is actually one of the few Harley accessories that's worth the price. A high pressure hose will be nothing but an expensive mess and the nice thing about the HD pump over a run of the mill bicycle pump is the bleeder valve which allows you to bleed and adjust the pressure w/o having to disconnect the pump each time.

So my question is what psi do you guys typically run solo? What ever the psi from the dealer is sucks. I am 210 lbs at 5'10" and I always bottom out on the freeway with the smallest dips. I was gonna check/fill them but then a friend mentioned not to use my air compressor because I might blow out the line. He said Harley makes a hand pump for them, what do you guys think? Also what psi do you run with a passenger, my lady is right around 125 lbs? Thanks for the help.........

I just bought my 09 SG and it scared the crap out me when I went across some train tracks by my house and bottomed out the shock. So I went to Walmart and found a small hand pump with a gauge for 14.95 The bike had no air in it when i checked it so I thought after I put air in it would not bottom out again. I tried every pressure from 5 to 40 in 5psi steps and it felt the same going across the tracks. The tracks are just outside my house and that is the only spot I noticed it. I think the bike rides great. It is just a short suspension. I left it at 15psi in the end.
