Air Pressure Question

[retrocool]

I'm 6' tall, weigh 225 and am using the factory air ride seat.
I've tried it @ 35 (almost pinches bladder) 40-45, clears bladder, but feels like I'm sliding off seat on take off, Today I tried 50 psi and it felt firm and a little higher. I noticed that the pain between my shoulder blades is gone when I ride at 50 psi (no slouching).
Is it safe to run these seats at 50 or 60 psi without damage?
Would there be any downside?
Thanks

According to the service manual, max pressure is 100 PSI, normal pressure is 30-45 lbs. I'm 185 lbs and ride with 30 PSI. Just thinking about 55 PSI makes my butt hurt.
