Tire pressure
Just curious what tire pressures Wide Glide owners are running? Manual says 40 rear and 30 front. On other bikes I've dropped the recommended pressure by 2-4 lbs unless I'm traveling long and heavy but for local runs a few pounds less seems to give a bit better ride quality. Any down side to say 36 rear and 28 front?

gonna depend on your weight. If your lighter rider, a few lbs less pressure won't hurt. However it is probably better to run the recommended pressure if your over 190 lbs. I run 40 rear and 35 front on my metzelers. I do get a softer ride with the 30 in the front, but I still would rather run the 35psi as it is better for the metzeler tire. You won't die or put yourself in any real danger being a couple psi off the recommended pressure.
