Air pressure with tourpak

Installed a chopped pak on my 2010 street glide. Pak added weight to the bike. What shock air pressure do you guys run while riding solo with the pak? Just curious.

I usually start around 15. If I really load it down, I'm only adding less than 20 pounds, I don't think that would make a difference. The abs packs don't weigh much anyway.

It all depends on your weight and the weight in the tour pack like said above start of with 15lb and experiment.

With the 12" Street Glide shocks I would bottom out at 22 lbs. on my 2009.
I would run 28 lbs. if I were you.

The 13" Ultra shocks are better riding shocks and can get by with less air.
