RE: rear shock PSI
The dealership told me that they had put 22 in when I picked it up because they know I ride 2up quite a bit... I noticed that when my wife and I went over big bumps, I felt like I was going to get catapulted over the handle bars. Told my friend who has a RK Custom how bouncy the ride was, so we checked the pressure... low and behold, there was no air in the shocks at all! I have been running about 18 since then and I love it! Smooth ride but stiff enough that it doesn't feel mushy.

RE: rear shock PSI
2000 RKC and run 15 lbs in the rear solo (165lbs), up to about 20 with pillion. Always 10 lbs in the front and never change it. I like a firm ride and thisseems to deliver.
