new streetglide shock problem
Just picked up my new 2015 streetglide sat. Put 40 miles on it and felt every crack in the roads. Air pressure is 35lbs. book says 40 - 50 when riding 2up.
Is this how it will ride? Don't want to start spending money yet on new shocks.

The street glides ride a little rougher due to the 12 " shocks, I ran 45 psi riding 2 up with a tourpac the ride was a rough but not bad ,the wife never complained. I did however picked a pair of Ultra Shocks for cheap they are 13" shocks and ride a lot better IMHO.

I dont have air ride however::
My SGS had a very hard ride when new. Mine has 'premium ride shocks'. I was dissatisfied with the super hard ride, it felt like a hard tail. But I was patient and after 1500 miles the ride smoothed out some. Still a hard ride but much more livable.

Might want to check the dial on the Left Rear shock. They are adjustable with a **** that you turn in and out. Your manual covers this, based on how much weight is on the bike. Might want to check and see where the **** is adjusted. The more it is screwed in, the rougher the ride if the bike is not loaded two up.
