Factory recommended maximums of 36 front 40 rear on my '21 Heritage.

Feels right - firm, yet not bouncy. Air the same regardless of solo or 2 up. Adjust the rear shock instead.

Heritage weighs 728 lbs wet, lighter than most. If you have a heavier bike you might want a little more air. I think the max tire pressure rating is 44.
