I do not know but you could call a Harley Service department or better go there in person and ask.

Use this table as a starting point in determining suitable rear air suspension pressures. Do not exceed

maximum GVWR when loading vehicle and do not pressurize system in excess of 50 psi (345 kPa) for

FLHRS, FLHX models and 35 psi (241 kPa) for all others. Excessive load weight and/or air suspension

pressure can adversely affect handling and lead to loss of vehicle control, which could result in loss of life

There is no single "best setting". It depends on you and your riding style. Heavier riders sometimes need a stiffer suspension. Same goes with those that do a lot of "Two Up" riding. Some riders seem to prefer a stiffer suspension because of their riding style. While others want the nice soft ride. The adjustment of the shocks is a personal type adjustment. Just try different positions under different conditions until you find the best for you.

Good Luck

You should be able to set the suspension soft or hard depending on what you are comfortable with (probably some where in the middle). Remember , the stock setting was probably for a 125 pound rider. The key thing is to bounce on the bike and make sure the front suspension and the rear suspension drop at the same time. This will give you much greater control during extreme riding conditions whether intended or unintended.

you want what kind of suspension settings?

suspension front and rear are both tunable to riders weight and riding style. if you think it's too soft, stiffen it up and vise vesa

Just put all settings at mid-range. Then adjust from there for desired softer or stiffer ride.
