Default Would you run your shocks at -0- PSI?

On a '99 RK.......I suspect depending on your weight you may say otherwise, but I'm not finding any problems running -0- right now...so far. I'm 185lbs.
Thoughts???
Experience???

Have a softy, but have had other bikes with air, GW. I'd think 0 air would not be a good Idea.. I'd prob run at least 10 psi in them just to keep them off the bottom.

215lbs and I only put air in when the OL is getting on board.

There won't be much air left at the end of the day anyway, those things leak like sieves......The real solution, $unfortunately$, is another pair of shocks.....but I don't want to start another shock thread....

On a Road King? No I wouldn't. On a Sportster? Yes, and I do frequently.
