RE: Air Pressure in Shocks???
When my '05 was new, the shocks leaked. I used a compressor to air them up, 75 miles from home. Went to the dealer, and I was told that since I used an air compressor, my shocks wouldn't be warranty, and I needed to buy a pump. I said BS. (It was only a loose hose connection). I purchased Harley's pump and it works great. I use 20-25 psi with bike loaded. Good luck.

I agree with Bountyhunter. Buy the HD pump. I run mine at 26 two and 30 loaded. It makes a difference in the ride and handling with a load.

I put em at 35 last summer when VIcki and I rode with two suitcases strapped on top.

I had my 06 FLHTC lowered front and rear. I feel I should be using the pressure specs for FLHR & X models which have Lo Profile shocks. Lo Pro max load ranges from 40 to 50 while the FLHT max is only 20 to 35. The "powers that be" don't have an answer so I just put enough in when loaded up is around 25psi. Has anybody done the 40 or more?

Check at a local bike shop, you might be able to save $10 or $15. The HD pump is identical to the pumps used by Fox, Manitou, etc.to air up mountain bike suspension forks and rear suspension shocks. Like this one http://www.cambriabike.com/shopexd.asp?id=39816
