Default Street Glide Rental

Require advise on setting up a 2010 Street Glide rental for a 2 week roadtrip. The first week I will be travelling solo on the second week I will be joined by the pillion in a million (yes, the wife).

I have purchased a sundowner seat for the trip as this will be much cheaper then a divorce, always remember 'love is grand and divorce is 900 grand'.

I need help with setting up the rear air shocks, we will be travelling with full saddlebags and 1 large sissy bar bag, my wife weighs in at 105 lbs and I am 190 lbs. Here in Australia I ride 2010 Fatbob, I know that the both bikes are completely different, but I still prefer a firmer ride, so what are your thoughts. Also what tyre pressure front and rear would you recommend?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

you're probably gonna need to run around 30psi in the shocks when riding solo and 45psi when the wife is with you. I'd stick with the recommended tire pressure 36psi front 40psi rear. where you going??
