Default Correct Tire Pressure

I recently got a 2006 Heritage Softail Classic FLSTC and need to know what the correct tire pressure should be ??
&nbsp\\;
The manual I received with this bike does not tell me the recommended pressure.&nbsp\\; I just checked the tires and the rear is at 38.5 and the front is at 31.5.
&nbsp\\;
I am a solo rider, never 2 up, and about 120 pounds.
&nbsp\\;
Any advice ?&nbsp\\; Thanks

Oh, I forgot to mention that the bike has the stock (Dunlop) tires and I was able to see on the front tire it says 40psi.&nbsp\\; Too dark out right now so I couldn't see what the rear tire said.
&nbsp\\;
Also, I read in another post that you should not go by the 'tire recommendation' but rather what the manual says........but the manual does specify this.

There should be a sticker somewhere on the bike that gives axle weight ratings and recommended tire pressures. Might be on the swingarm or steering head.

Wow,&nbsp\\; Then that means my front tire is really low !!&nbsp\\; Will definitely be correcting that.

On my Sportster and Springer the sticker is on the right tube of the front part of the frame. I also run mine 36 front, 40 rear.
