FatBoy/Champion kit ---- per my installer's recommendation (and experimentation that definitely proved his recommendation correct for my optimal comfort) I keep the front tire fully inflated to spec as it was for a 2-wheeler, but the rear tires at about 17 psi. Note that I am a small woman and almost exclusively ride solo. He told me he keeps his rear tires at 20-22 psi for his normal two-up riding.
JM I have a 06 roadstar with 34 in front and 32 in the rear,, I don't know if thats good or not. to me it is kinda rough ride.. Don
Deacon Don, Try putting the front tire up to 40 psi and dropping the rears down do about 22 psi. Bet you like the difference ;)
I'll agree with Nana, I have a Roadstar with Champion and I use 40 in front and 22 rear.Too high in rear and it's too stiff of a ride. Ken
I dropped the rear to 22 lbs and jacked the front to 40. . And YR right it did make a plesant difference..
I run 41 front witch is a rear M/C tire on reversed 20 in the left rear and 22 in the right rear to counter for road crown:Trike1:
