What pressure??

Okay. I am about to take a trip with my 05 Road King Classic. I weigh about 200lbs, my wife about 118lbs and I will have two full saddle bags and a touring bag on the back rack.

What do I set my air shock pressure to?

18 -20. IF IT WERE ME I WOULD DO 22. MAKE SURE YOUR FRONT TIRE IS AT 38 AND THE BACK AT 41.

Thanks. I think I will put it up to about 20lbs. That should be pretty good.

RE: What pressure??

My wife and I have the same weights as yours and I ran 20 lbs. on a 1650 mile trip. What the other guys say about tires is correct as well because the back tire will get hot if it's underinflated.
