ATTENTION!
The SGS does not have air shocks....
And to the OP, you'll have to look in the owner's manual, figure your weight and the wife's and see what the moco's recommendation is, then make adjustments from there to suit your comfort.

Yep. Pretty common on here though. Lots of folks read the forums and that makes them experts. Never mind the fact that most are just spreading misinformation...
Nah, it's ice cream.

i have the street glide special. there is a dial on the left side of the bike when you remove the rear bag. i thought i just turn it and it adjusts the ride. i know i have to read the manual and i will but i am outside out back and don't feel like going inside to get the manual. she says when i hit a hole or railroad tracks she gets a jarring vibration into her back. one time it was so bad she tweaked her back and couldn't go to the gym for 3 weeks
From the amount of time it took you to type all of that on your mobile device, you could of already walked in, got your manual and be reading it beside your bike so you can learn about your new toy, just sayin.

A better seat with more padding in the rear would help her if you can't get the adjustments correct. For me and the wife we keep ours on the lowest setting and haven't needed to adjust with me solo or us both fully loaded. But we also use a hammock seat with our lower premium hand adjustable Harley shocks. FYI, if your having issues adjusting these you really want to stay away from the ohlins, they take a lot of adjusting/ getting broke in and then adjusting again for two up. And that two shocks to play with not just the one side like Harley!
