Have you checked them to see what is in them now? A lot of the times they come from the factory w/little to no air in them. If this is the case on yours, and you do mostly solo riding I would start around 20lbs. I'm just a little shy of half your weight (270) and run mines around 40lbs.

Bill,

My suggestion is to check your owner's manual, and double what H-D recommends for your weight.  My SEEG has the Profile lowered shocks like the SERK, and the manual called for 0-10 psi for my weight.  Bottomed out on a regular basis.  I am now running 20 psi and there is a world of improvement in ride and handling.

I'm a skinny kid and I too went from 10psi up to 20 psi and think is much better :o
