Default Fat Boy Tire Pressure?

This may seem stupid, but my dealer is closed today, I cannot read anything on the tires. Letters are way too small for me to read.
Anyone knows with original tires what the front and back pressure should be?
It is a 2009 Fatboy.

I have a 2007 FB and run 37-38 lbs, front and 40 rear and that is one or two up. Be sure to check your tire pressure at least once a week or your tire milege will take a real dive. The 2007 has the same tire sizes you do on your 2009.

From my '09 Service manual:

FLSTF solo rider 36 front 38 rear, rider and passenger 36 front 42 rear.

And that is cold tire pressure.

I run 36 in front and 38 in the rear all the time. The rear is recommended 38 for 2 up. The numbers on the side of the tire are for max pressure, NOT neccessarily recommneded pressures.
