2012 street glide, rough ride
Hey guys/gals I ride with my wife 90% of the time and she is complaining about the bumps, sometimes they hit pretty hard. and it is kinda stiff with more air in the shocks.. I am wanting to lower the bike an inch and I want to make it ride alot softer/smoother. which is the best way to go? thanks

How much air are you putting in the shocks? I've found that putting in 45 - 48 pounds with 2-up seems to ride the best. The SG is already lowered an inch, lowering it more would be counter-productive as far as ride is concerned.

45+ lbs?! Wow!
I dont run half that. Less than 10 solo, usually about 5-7 around town and no more than 20 when I'm two up,if I have alot of gear stuffed.
