You didn't look very hard. Go to http://www.avonmoto.com/ and select your make/model from the TIRE FINDER drop-down on the right side of the page. Recommended Fat Bob front pressure is 36psi; rear 40psi.

The numbers I saw listed were not for the same size "Cobra's", On the side walls it's labeled 42psi.

That is what I saw too on that site. That why I wondered what you were running.

Can't speak to the first part, but the sidewall numbers indicate maximum pressure, not recommended pressure. I guess you should use their general guidelines then (from the link you posted earlier - it's not as specific though, so you'll need to experiment). Bottom line... you will need to run higher than stock pressure, even if you ride exclusively solo.
