should be a part number sticker on the shock body, new shocks are 54662-09 ( both sides are the same)
you may see mention of another part number- that is for the "kit" of 2 shocks

Well I have had my RK less than 2 weeks and this air shock thing is new to me. But I have already learned that you might just as well go out and buy the H-D $50 hand pump with bleeder and gauge. I tried several different pumps I had from bicycle to electric (paying attention not to over pressure). Nothing worked. I tried a regulated pancake compressor I have with a standard tire chuck. It worked but the act of checking the pressure afterwards changed the pressure by 5-10 pounds. The very small system volume and the need to shut off the air instantly make the H-D pump a necessity. I brought one home yesterday and it makes the job really easy.
I set my pressure at 35 pounds in anticipation of wifey riding with me. I probably should bleed that down because I solo more frequently and now pressure adjustments are easy!!

I also run 28 in my 11 SG
Maybe 28 or 30 would be a good starting point since you have a tour pack also, depends how much you weigh, I'm about 225.
