How much air pressure
I have a 09 Road King and would like to know how much air pressure you are running in the rear shocks. I weigh about 220 and always ride solo. Thanks for your help.
I also have an '09 RKC and weight about the same as you. I've found 28.5 to be perfect for me riding solo. It glides over bumps, etc... but if you hit a big one get ready to have your spine moved to the back of your throat. I move off the seat when I see a big one but thats not always possible. I think I have it set to 45 psi for two up but havent been two up much to see if other settings work better.

I try to keep mine between 28-30 psi ... I normally run solo and this seems to be a pretty good sweet spot for me.
