Ideal air pressure for the stock tires have been researched over many miles of use and over plenty of HD test facilities as well as Dunlop research facilities here and abroad. They also have the advantage of being able to optimize the tires for best mileage for best street performance possible. We could spend $1000's and tons of track & street time and still not come close to what has been done, and the tires used have been OEM standard for 15 years or more...

Quite simply, check the decal on your frame (mine is on the steerer downtube)...it shows the stock OEM tire/wheel sizes AND the recommended pressure for solo and two-up...nothing easier than that!
