06 FLHX shocks on 07 SB

I have a pair of 06 flhx shocks on my 07 SB. i weigh 245 with gear. i filled them with 11oz of 7 wt.

Is my fluid level right, and what air pressure should i run solo or two up.

thanks

Since the moco says if they leak they must be replaced there is no specification for oil weight or quantity but others have drained theirs to check the level and while they do seem to vary, you're real close to the mark. If you want more damping then increase the weight, less, put in lighter weight, if there's a bottoming problem you could try to increase the volume a little and the air can go up to 50psi, you just need to try different pressures solo and 2up to see what works for you.
