Tire pressure
I got my 07 883C used and I didn’t get the manual that tells me stuff like tire pressure. What is a good psi to run for a solo 195 lb rider in 100 degree heat? I am planning on going on a ride with a few other guys almost down to the coast this weekend and thought it would be a good idea to check the tires.

I read MAX 41 PSI on the tire, so I have been keeping mine both at 41 PSI. Never checked the manual. Is that not the right way to do it? Mine is a 1200, but should not be any different I think.

Good point. I'll check in my manual when I get home.

The recommended tire pressure and tire size is listed on the sticker on the right side on the front part of the frame. At least it's there on my 02 Hugger and my 08 Nightster

The tire pressure listed in the Owners Manual is correct for the stock Dunlop tires. You will notice in the manual that the recommended rear tire pressure is different for 2up vs. solo.
If you are not running the stock Dunlop tires, you need to refer to the tire manufacture for the correct pressures for your model bike. This can usually be found on the mfg's web site.
