Welcome to the new style forum. Not surprised your message didn't get any replies on the old forum as this one is much better. The old one isn't even getting many views now according to the stats there as people are migrating to this one. Anyway, fitting two air shocks is not a good idea. You need the combination of the single air shock and the spring one as they both perform slightly different functions. I know a guy in Germany who did this and regretted it (suspension bottomed out all the time even on full air) and he changed it back very quickly.
You would be better off putting two normal (heavy)shocks in and getting rid of the air shock altogether, or leaving well enough alone.

The air suspension control on the 1500 only pumps the rear suspension, if your Wing is an American spec SE you will have air nipples in the forks as well but have to pump the air in manually.
If your bike bottoms out at max pressure then either the shock is worn out, you and your passenger & luggage weigh a good bit over the 400lb limit (although you would need to weigh around 500lbs betwen you to make a difference) or both.

as well as not putting 2 air shocks on dont be tempted to put 2 standared spring shocks on as you end up with no suspension at all( been there done it)

Hear hear. I always believed the Goldwing needs a combination of seperate air and standard shocks. Standard shocks just aren't up to the job. It's a credit to Honda how they managed to get the monoshock to work so well in the GL1800. I think they took a chance and stuck their necks out on that one and it seems to have paid off. :clapper:
