Tire Pressure 03-RKC
Earlier this year, I replaced both front and rear tires with Stock Dunlop 402s Wide White Walls. Bought them from the dealer and they mounted them. The tire pressure they put in them was 26 psi. The owners manual says 36 psi. Im 220 pounds and I ride solo. Ive always gone by what the manufacturer says but this is quite the difference.

My 02 Road King owners manual says 36 psi front, 40 psi rear. Dealer erred.
At 220 lbs you might want to crank it up a bit say 38 and 42.
Don't go over the Manufacturers limit emblazoned on the side of the tire.

A RK is as light as it gets for a touring bike and 220 isn't really that heavy. I'd probably go ~2lb lower than the 'pressure at max load' molded in the tire.
My SG with a tour pak and my fat **** (290) runs at max tire pressure all the time. I'll even go a couple pounds over, especially when the wife (also not small) is with me.
