    I used to run 36lb front and rear on nsw roads which appear to be slightly better than qld, just wondering what pressure qlders run?

    i think it would make bugger all difference to your ride, shocks spring & damping rate would help more. also 1" more travel ( raise bike an 1" would help ride quality. i run 38LB front 40LB rear keeps tyres runing cool so they last longer.

     I have,nt been getting the tyre wear I expect and have read on the US Harley forum, last rear tyre lasted 9000 kms.  So I am running the recommended tyre pressures for the Metzler 880s.  Interested what others are doing and the wear they are getting.

    ME880 Solo 2 Up Light 2 Up Heavy
    Front 38-40 40-42 40-42
    Rear 44-46 46-48 48-50
