Default Last Tire Question

So I bought the Michelin C2's and ridden about 50 miles on them so far. All seems fine, but I can't figure out my target inflation pressure. Michelin says whatever the bike manufacturer recommends, but HD has no recommendation for C2's that I am aware of. A review of several websites and forums offers no consensus at all -- I see everything from 30/36 to 42/42.

So for those of you riding Sportsters w/C2's, what are your target pressures front and back? Total weight - me and the bike is about 800 lbs. if that's useful.

Pirelli told me 38/42 for my Night Dragons, way different than manufacturer rating.
