I need some suggestions or the PSI recommended by Harley for the rear shocks.
06 Streetglide
Me: 215 lbs
Wife: 140 lbs
I know for some it is a personal preference, but I need a starting point
Thanks,

 

I run 28 PSI with 2-up on my Ultra. Our combined weight is about the same as yours however my King T.P. adds another 30-50 lbs. When in solo mode I run around 18-20.

 

I'm 180 my wife 135. I keep it at 40psi on my Ultra Limited. Keeping it higher makes it ride a little rougher, but it doesn't bottom out as often when you hit bumps.

 

Mines at 30, regardless if it's 1 or 2 up

 

Thanks guys. I had a fitting leak and could not remember for sure what PSI to run. Think I will start out at 28PSI and see how she rides.

 

I just use what the owners manual states...... Always seems ok. Of course you may have to experiment

 

12 and 13 inch shocks and different years take different pressures,you've already got some bad advise read your owners manuel. or u can upgrade your shocks when ya blow the seals.

 

I have a FLHX and I weight 250 lbs so I run 30 pounds of air in my shocks, 25 just didn't do it for me.

 

I'm about the same weight as the OP and I run about 12psi solo with stock shocks. Read the manual for a starting point and tweak as needed.

 

I'm 240 wife 140 screw the Harley air shocks mine lasted 2 weeks gone get real shocks
Suspension Technologies -- Products Progressive, Ohlins, JRI any of these are 100% better than cheap Harley air shocks.
