Default street glide

I have to pick up 2011 street glide for a friend today. The bike has been sitting for a couple of months. What should the tire pressure be and the shock for a 180 lb rider. Thanks in advance.

I don't have access to the numbers right now but it might be a little low on air after sitting for a couple months, but not dangerously low. Just ride it to a gas station and put in what ever it says on the side of the tire.

when putting air in the shocks, DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR. You need to use a manual pump. You will blow all the seals if you use a compressor to fill the shocks.

Shocks - solo @180 lbs - 10 - 20 page 75
front - 36 page 31
rear - 40 page 31
