2006 Heritage Classic -- I run the front at 36 and the rear at 37 -- works really nice and that's what the book recomments ( 36 ). I weigh 165 lbs if that helps you or not. Bike handles like crazy, rides nice and stops great.

You should be running 36/36 solo and 36/40 with a passenger.It is a bad idea to run your tires under inflated, for their purpose and weight their carrying. I use to run the rear tire on a hard tail chopper I had under inflated. That was because I had no rear shocks and the tire was the onlygive I had.Do you have a logical reason for running your tires under inflated or don't you know what they should be set at?

I too have the same issue: I have a 06 Deuce, I keep my tires inflated according to the spec in theowners manual, however, I was told this isnt correct it should be 4psi more.
What specs do you guys follow?

My shop wrench says to go 40/40, but my 06 had some vibration in it with that. So, I went back to book specs, smooth again now.
