Default Rear shocks

On my 09 seultra I have the hd low profile shocks. I run them with about 35 lbs of air. When it's just me that's fine but with a passenger it gets to be a rough ride. Lots of bucking and just uncomfortable. Any suggestions

Don't know what your manual states...but mine recommends 50 psi when riding 2 up. Might check there first.

+1. I just put mine on and they were a great improvement and I supposedly had the best shocks Harley makes on my bike (FLHXSE)
