how to adjust air shocks
My recently purchased 02 Ultra came without a manual (go figure) and I would like to adjust the rear air shocks. Someone told me there is a formula- like 1.25 psi per 100 lbs load. Can anyone set me straight on how to correctly do this. I don't want to pop something! they are stock.
thanks

First go buy this pump. Touring Suspension Air Pump 54630-03A
This pump was designed to allow safe and simple adjustment of the front and rear air suspension on Touring motorcycles. Unlike a bicycle pump or a fuel station air hose, the hand operated pump with controllable "micro bleed" valve allows precise adjustment to air volume, and the "no loss" air connector maintains shock pressure when the fitting is removed. The 4.5" swivel air hose simplifies valve stem attachment. The aluminum housing is compact, lightweight and durable, and fits easily into your bag for "on-the-road" adjustments. The high quality 0-60 psi gauge ensures accurate air pressure.
For use with Touring Air Suspension components.
MSRP US $46.95

Here is the specs for a 2005, should be the same.
solo rider up to 150 lbs: 0 PSI
Solo rider 150-200 lbs: 0-10 PSI
Solo rider 200-250 lbs: 5-15 PSI
Rider with passenger weight of up to 150 lbs: 10-15 PSI
Rider with passenger weight of up to 200 lbs: 20-25 PSI
Max. Gross vehicle weight rating: 20-35 PSI
DO NOT use a air compressor to add air. You will blow the shocks if the flow is not regulated down.
I see that Im late getting info again lol

Another option to the H.D one is part# GP3-60 from Progressive Suspension. Not sure if they are made by the same company or if they provide H.D. but they look nearly identical and share all the same features and may be less $.
