Fork Air Pressure - Progressive Springs
I've got a 1999 RKC. Progressive 1" drop in front and rear by way of lowering springs and 440 shocks. I've got screamin' eagle HD fork oil in the front end and about 20# of pressure.
I'm wondering what kind of pressure others are running. My front wheel seems to have quite a bit of "hop" at just about any speed. I'm trying to figure out the setup for 1-up and 2-up. 225# 1-up and 400ish 2-up with our luggage and dog.
Thanks for any info.

Except that the exact fork oil weight is unknown, that's the same front setup as on my '01 RK. Somewhere around 20# is what I run in the front for the firmer ride I prefer. 15# is smooth riding but dives more than I like when braking. 25# rattles my teeth. I adjusted the air pressure 2# at a time to find what was best - yes, a couple of pounds one way or the other can make a noticeable difference.
I still have the air shocks in back and that's where I make adjustments for 1-up or 2-up riding.
