FLHTK Air Shock Pressure
I'm new to the ultra and airshocks. I have read the owners manual and understand that 20psi for solo and 40 for two up is reccomended. Does this fit with everyones experience or is there an un-written sweet spot?
thanks

They must have changed the shocks cause my book reccomends 40 PSI for single 45 for 2 and 50 for 2 and full gear....
You have the hand pump correct? do not use a compressor or you will be buying new shocks.
I usually put in 45 PSI for myself and gear, and it rides pretty sweet, but when the wife is on and the bags are full its just a hair under 50 and rides very well.
You will know whent you bottom out, trust me.

Might want to check your manual again. I'm 240 lbs and run between 43 and 45. I carry the wife occasionally and rarely bottom out. For me the bike rides smoother @ 45 psi then it does at lower pressures.
