Default 2009 touring shocks

I just picked up some air shocks from a 09 police bike, the ride is much better than before, but even though they are 13'' instead of 12'' (stock) with me and wife on back the bike sits lower, anyone know the max air pressure you can put in these? I have 30 pounds in them now and don't want to put too much in them until I get some info on them.
Thanks,
Steve

Assuming you have 54565-09 then you can go up to 60psi but there shouldn't be any reason to 35 with a passenger should be more than enough, drop 10 or so if you are solo. Pressure has little or nothing to do with ride height on these.

Thanks for the info, and yes those are the shocks I have. But won't the shocks drop less with more pressure in them when you add wieght?
Thanks again,
Steve
