07 Street Glide with original Dunlaps. What say you all on tire pressure? Previous owner had 36 lbs front and rear plastered on the front of the manual in very large writing. I do quite a bit of riding 2 up.

Your input would be very welcomed!

Thanks!

Couple pounds over factory recommendations seems to work for me.

The very small print on the tire will probably say 41 for both front and back but I usually go 39-40 on both,pumped at cold tires.
