Tire Pressures
I have an 05' FXDLI and just recently had the dealer mount a set of Metzler 880's. I have looked all over their web site but am unable to find the correct pressure to run. I currently run 40 psi in the rear and 39 psi in the front. Is this correct or is there a more optimal pressure to run? Thanks for your help--

Look on the US metzeler website. On the front page they have both full line brochure and V-Twin upgrades manuals you can look at or download. Front min/max is 38/42. Rear min/max is 40/42.

RE: Tire Pressures
yeah it is normal phor tubed tires on spokes to lose a small amount of air. in phact I think even tubeless will lose a bit.
I am still running Dunlops, and even though the sidewall has a higher number, I'm running 30 up phront, and 36 in the rear.

Tire pressure....................... ALWAYS check your tire pressure.
Believe it or not, you could lose several lbs. of air overnight.
I check my tire pressure before every ride, right after I check the oil.
