shocks and oil pressure

[jgc89]

i was wondering what would be the best shocks to install on a 2012 triglide.the air shocks suck. also what should the oil pressure be on a hot idle.it has 32 lbs at cruising speed. it only has 12000 miles:Shrug:

If i remember correctly.:Shrug:....With my 2011 Tri-Glide .....At highway speed 32 plus or minus seems right......At a hot idle at a red light almost zero ...I had almost 50 thousand miles without any problems when i traded it in....That said Harley gauges aren't known for Accuracy...

Your hot idle oil pressure should be 5-10 PSI

Running down the road warmed up engine 30-35 degrees would be fine

Do not put much faith in H D gauges, when in doubt check your PSI with a master gauge

At least you have a number to look at. On my 2020TG all the information system says is that the oil pressure in OK. WTF is that.

Cheap by the MOCO

It is a good thing these air cooled twins can run and even last on low oil pressures

Damn things have run for years on volume @ low pressures

I really dislike idiot light systems on any thing JMO

No one has addressed the shocks I swapped out for Pro Action out of Beaver Falls PA. Hands down the best thing for ride. They are a small business locally-owned and they answer the phone to help with questions. Travel safe Fred

I can tell you from personal experience they work GREAT . . . and countless others will also. Prepare to enjoy!

I have Pro action from DK on my trike and Suspension Technologies on my RKC both work great!

On my 13 I was shocked to see my oil pressure drop to zero waiting in heavy traffic. Ridiculous how hot it gets too.

You will wonder why you waited so long.....

We appreciate Your business, & glad you're enjoying the improved suspension!

Oil pressure should not drop to zero...5-10 is fine. Zero is not.

Yes, heat is a big issue, you may find this video series we did on how to reduce the heat useful-
