Default Ultra air shock pressure


I normally ride 1-up 70% of the time. What pressure is good for both one and two-up riding to have a happy medium. I am 175 lbs. I have an '06 Ultra with factory shocks.

Thanks

That really depends on how firm you want the ride. I like a kinda soft ride with no bottoming out. I keep my shocks at 12 psi for 2 up and road trips. My wife and I together weigh 340 lbs. Invest in one of the HD pumps. Small so you can take it with you all the time and easy to use. It is not a cost but a investment.

Have EG Classic. Am 205lbs one up set about 15 lbs. 2 up 29 to 32lbs (say no more). I also have the HP pump but progressive also make one. Well worth it since it is a no loss system which because of the small air volume in the shocks makes setting them difficult with a conventional tire guage
