    Air pressure for Ultraglide rear shocks?

    I now have a '05 Ultraglide Classic which has factory (to my knowledge) air-shocks on the rear end.

    To save me faffing around TOO much what would be a good starting point pressure for two-up plus gear?

    Nice ride

    No idea about air pressures...

    but have seen a few Ultras in Europe - often being ridden in cities and on cobble-stones and tram tracks

    Yeah I did - great bike, cruises well but by the cringe are they heavy and just a tad less nimble than the T-Sport...I guess I'll get the hang of it

    Already nearly been taken out by a no-indicator sudden-U-turn farming type in a Terrano. - a bright-as headlight and two spot-lights and he still didn't see me behind him.

    Then again I guess that would mean to do that he would have to use his mirrors and maybe turn his useless head....

    Careless
    Can't use Careless Causing 'cos law doesn't cover causing skidmarks!

    And thanks for the advice re pressures, appreciated!
