air preesure

[jim peacock]

I have a 96se 1500 with a 06 lehman kit that has the air adjustable shocks.
When my wife was alive I always ran 38to40 lbs of air in them and 20lbs of air in the tires the tires are 60 series.
Now that I am going to be riding alone any ideas of how much air pressuer you would recomend in the shocks.
Thanks Jim

Very short Trike experience here, but I'm runnin' around 35-40 comfortably regardless if my Wife and I are 2-up or not on my Motor Trike Gold Wing....seems to be a good compromise of most road types and conditions....also 20 in the rear tires, and 39 in the front......:yes:

Limited experience but good so far, 2010 CSC Cobra factory recommends 38 front 28 rear, so far the ride is better than ever and handling is great,,,last tank at the 2k mark for the trike kit was 33mpg, jmho:yes:

I agree with Skuuter.....I have the Motor Trike IRS on my 09 Wing. The factory told me that for solo riding, 24 in the air bags and 24 in the rear tires and 41 in the front was ideal. Initially, I was disappointed in the ride quality but through experimenting, I found that 39 in the front tire, 34 to 36 in the air bag and 22 in the rear tires was best for me and smoothed out the ride considerably. I guess it is a little like a seat......everyone's rear is a little different. I am much happier with the ride (solo) at these settings.

Keep lowering the rear tire pressure until it feels right. Heck you can go down to 10lb <LOL> they will almost run flat. I would stop at 18 lbs myself.
