Default Road Glide rear shocks

Just hit the 1000 miles and been bothered a bit by the harsh rear suspension. Finally remembered to pick up a pump at the dealership the other day. Suprised me to hell that I only had 10 lbs. in the shocks. Being 6' 5" and close to 300 lbs., I took them right up to 50 lbs. While I was at it, adjusted the handlebars back for a more comfortable reach. Amazed the hell out of me how great this thing rides now.

Yep, even 5 psi variation can make a big difference in the ride.
