SOURCE: shocks

The Road King shocks are air adjustable via an air valve located on the right side of the bike just above the rear tire. Your Harley Davidson owner's manual will tell you what the shocks should be pressurized to depending upon the load on your bike (for instance - if you'll be carrying a passenger - the pressure should be a bit higher than it would be if you were riding solo). Don't even attempt to read the pressure unless you have the specialized hand pump that is used to pressurize the shocks. You can purchase this from Harley Davidson or via a third party online. The valve is a typical bicycle / auto air valve - but ... DO NOT attempt to pressurize it with anything but the specialized hand pump. Using anything else will risk over pressurization of your shocks and that's not good. The shocks hold a very small volume of air at relatively low pressure levels - so the hand pump is a must have.

SOURCE: how do I adjust rear shocks on my 2000 Road King?

Hi Patti, Road Kings have air shocks at the rear. You will need a FL touring hand pump and adjust the air pressure accordingly to your weight/load.

SOURCE: how do I find a leak in my rear shocks on a road king?

Unless the shock body is cracked, the only place it can leak is at the air inlet at the top of the shock. We've replaced a lot of these at the shop I work at.

AIR SHOCKS LEAKING. IS THERE A KIT?

Spraying some soapy water around the air lines, fittings, and shocks might uncover the source of the leak. Your local dealer will be able to get any parts you may need. My.02? Purchase some quality aftermarket shocks (not air!) and never look back.

What are the recommended maximum psi for the front and rear air shocks?

25 psi would be the maximum on the stock shocks for your road king. I usually myself run about 17 psi in the rear shocks with a passenger.
