Default Road Glide Ultra air shock question

We are heading x country next week, NY to Seattle. How many pounds should I put in the shocks with 2 people (340 lbs), and full bags?

All thoughts, experience is welcome and desired

Thanks

I'd go the full 50#, and I think that's what the owner's manual recommends anyway.

Careful not to over-pressurize.

If you read the owners manual, it clearly states, what, 50psi?

max is 50#, I would try 45, and if you feel this isnt enough go to 50#. DO NOT use compressed air, use a hand pump. Have a safe trip.
