Air shock pressure for Roadsmith

[brianl]

Just got my '97 wing triked this week with a Roadsmith independent suspension. I'm wondering what air pressure to set my shocks at. I had it set at 20 PSI when it was a two wheeler so I could put 2 feet on the ground. It was set at that pressure while I've been riding with my wife and she says that it makes her nauseous while riding on twisties because of the "back and forth" motion. I'm wondering if I increase the pressure if that will cause less sway. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be a good pressure to set it at? Total weight of driver and passenger is 300 lbs.

I realize you have a different kit, but for my MT GL1500, I was told to start out at 35 lbs and "play around" from there. Right now, I'm trying around 40 to see if I notice any difference. Let us know your "findings". ThumbUp

It was an option that the gl1500 originally had. For $300 they used air shocks on the roadsmith and integrated it to the compressor on the bike.

I have a 96 Asp. with a Motor Trike Conversion. I use about 24lbs for just me and about 30 lbs for me and wife. Have a bit more weight between us than you do. But that is what we use. Good luck

RS has an air ride system... I opted for standard air shocks for the 69 VW, $60.00 bucks.
