Hi all, just installed air shocks #54662-09, on my wifes 09 nightster. I'm trying to set the air pressure for her, but she can't tell me where it needs to be.
I've tried 2, 5, 7 & 10 lbs and she tells me it all feels the same. She weighs 102lbs wet, any guesses at how much air should be in them. I could set the shocks for me but I outweigh her by 90lbs.

 

i'm 150 and run 0 when i'm just rolling along (buick setting), 5 for WOT fun (vette), 10-15 fully loaded for x-country touring (GMC).

 

I weigh 195 and run 0 PSI in mine at all times.

 

I run 5-10 but I'm 230. I'd try 0 and go down a rough road. If it ever bottoms out put a few pounds in it.

 

220lbs... currently set at 10lbs but simply pure lazy... I have not tried them at 0lbs... I was going to and just never got around to it... At 10lbs they fell good to me. But again, I still need to do a test at 0lbs to see if it is an improvement over what I have now.

I did try them at 20lbs first.. that made the ride to harsh.

 

At that weight I would try 0 psi and see if that does not feel better for her.

 

0 is the best your going to do with her weight. Probably not the right choice for her but time will tell.

 

Actually, with her weight I'd recommend negative pressure. Sit on bike, let the air out, close the air nipple while still sitting on it.

 

I tried negative pressure on mine and it was still to harsh.........Im 160. Dude you got the wrong shocks for her.

 

I'm 185lbs and I run 0psi for rider only riding, 15psi for 2 up.
