drifter shock settings

going to the dk-side presented some mild new questions. I have a rear fender carrier on the scoot and with a tandum seat mounted ( if this aint the ugliest seat)it it tends to strike the bottom of the tandum seat frame . i guess have to rework the rear shock settings. Ive got them at 30 lbs and the shocks on #2. Is it that lower the number the softer the setting? It goes from 1 to 4.I read that you can go up to 50 lbs of air , that big ol tire likes the lower air in the shocks , but with 2-up its a little tricky finding the sweet-spot.If it wernt for that ugly old seat, id be riding all cumfy in my corbin wide butt Solo seat,but the old lady likes to go riden every so often,just like to know what yall set them at ,thanks to all ....Gilbo

When I go solo its with 36.5 lbs in the tire and when its the 2 of us its 38 lbs. I leave the shocks on 2 all the time. X 1300 R.

On my 1300 I am set on 3 whether it's me or two up! It will bottom out two up, but the ride is comfy! Not sure about your bike though. Sorry, I don't have a better answer.

Sounds like you'd have to find the correct amount of squat when you're riding 2up. If you're comfy with 2 on solo you might want to go up to 3-4 for 2up and adjust them acordingly.

well, now that ive managed to get my wings clipped inj the rain with the new tires, keep in mind i aint no virgin to ridding in the rain, ive got alot time in the saddle,but i had no idea that the tires would be so nice in the rain, no worries just a good sticky feel to the road, granted i did not push it real hard , but i rode carefully. it was a nasty drizzle,i wished it would have poured , just to get it over with, but noooo...it was a nasty drizzle for 12 miles and was no big deal, i set the shocks on 2 and 30 psi,,,,with 2 up I went to the 3 setting and 40 psi . I put about 300 miles on a good run with 2 up ( not in the rain) and was comfortable,, ive got another bike, its a 1982 gl1100 interstate and will do the same thing to it when the time comes
