I need the air pressure reading front front shock

My car did this and my shock air compressor was burnt out. The reason was the air lines were rusted out and made the compressor run all the time. My mechanic installed two new air shocks and run an air line to just under the rear bumper out of site and about every two to three months I take my air compressor in my shop and top up the pressure. Cost a lot less than replacing every thing.

All fuses i know are under lt sid e panel .. Air for shocks lt side just rear of shock bolt ,, not sure if your year has air in forks2 if does shrader valve is next to read on 2,, there is a switch to acctivate spots on headlite bezle facing rider if high beems on they go off.. your invited to our forum,, http://www.hdtalking.net/

Actually all shocks are oil dampened - the air pressure just increases the dampening effect of the oil. In all Goldwings the front shocks air pressure is adjustable and supposed to be 6 psi.
If you no longer have the air ports on the shocks then something is very wrong with this bike - the front fork has been modified, the shocks have been replaced with non genuine parts. Have the bike inspected by a Honda certified repair shop immediately.

Hi.

Depends on what you want to get. In theory the fork can be between 0 and 43 psi. In practice if you put 40 psi it will be completely stiff and seals may start leaking.

In practice the front take 0 to 12 psi, and rear shock from 7 to 21 psi.

If you need street performance put more pressure. Settings for comfort in long travels will require lower pressure.

Here tables from service manual:

FRONT



REAR:

Rear shock absorber air pressure can vary from 0.5 kg/cm2 (7 psi) to 1.5 kg/cm2 (21 psi) as the road conditions become more severe or the load increases.

For the front here below the procedure from service manual. I suggest staying far from the 43 psi limit suggested if you do not want to break the seals.

8. Make sure the front wheel is off the ground and inflate the forks to 0-0.4 kg/cm2 (0-6 psi). Do not use compressed air; use only a small hand-operated air pump.
CAUTION
Never exceed an air pressure of 43 psi (3.0 kg/cm2) as damage may occur to internal components of the fork assembly.

You should be able to run regular or unleaded fuel with out any problems.The capacity is under 3 quarts. I do not remember the exact amount Something between 2 and 2.5 qts. Pour 1 quart in and then add carefully checking the dip stick so you do not over fill. Putting air pressure in the forks and shocks is not necessary. But can help the handling if done properly. Maximum pressure in the front forks is around 12 to 14 pounds air pressure. The rear is probably the same pressure. There is probably a sticker on the frame under the seat or by the side cover that tells maximum pressure. You do not need to put in maximum pressure. If you do you risk popping a seal. What you want to do is set up the bike so the front and rear suspension drop together when you bounce on the seat with the bike loaded. If you want a soft ride add some pressure only to the component that drops first.If you want a stiff ride put about half of the maximum pressure to the front and rear and bleed off pressure from there. I find it easiest to use a bicycle foot pump with a pressure gauge on it. It may only take 1/2 of a pump to get the pressure you need. Find the frame decal with the information on it and be careful not to put in too much pressure . Again , you will not need more than half the maximum pressure to get the ride you want and you can ride with out putting in any pressure (the springs in the shocks and forks will hold you up).

Yes, but it takes a special pump to put the air in the shocks. They aren't expensive and are available at your local Harley shop. They'll tell you how much air pressure to run in the front suspension and rear shocks as well.

Good Luck

too much pressure an yul blow rings in shocks call dealer for proper pressure

The Road King shocks are air adjustable via an air valve located on the right side of the bike just above the rear tire. Your Harley Davidson owner's manual will tell you what the shocks should be pressurized to depending upon the load on your bike (for instance - if you'll be carrying a passenger - the pressure should be a bit higher than it would be if you were riding solo). Don't even attempt to read the pressure unless you have the specialized hand pump that is used to pressurize the shocks. You can purchase this from Harley Davidson or via a third party online. The valve is a typical bicycle / auto air valve - but ... DO NOT attempt to pressurize it with anything but the specialized hand pump. Using anything else will risk over pressurization of your shocks and that's not good. The shocks hold a very small volume of air at relatively low pressure levels - so the hand pump is a must have.
