Tire pressure
I have a 90/90/21 shinkco 777. And it’s wanting to raise up at the tips of the tread patterns. I’m running 32 in air pressure. Do I need more air pressure to stop this from happening

Hey Robert...Welcome aboard.
I don't know anything about Shinko Tires....never ran one. My bike is an FXRS, similar model to yours, not a Sporty, not a bagger.
Not sure what this means:
"....it’s curving up the tips of my tread patters." But if what you're describing is what is called "cupping" then the remedy is typically to increase air pressure.
For reference, I'm currently running a Dunlop American Elite on my FXRS. I keep 32 psi in it, and at 16,000 mi (so far...) there's no evidence of cupping. Shinko's may need more air pressure.

Last time I replaced my tires I emailed the manufacturer(Pirelli) and gave my info and what there recommendations were. They told me 36-40psi on my front and 44-50psi on the rear. My bike is a 1998 Dyna WideGlide
