Night Dragon PSI
So I finally switched from the stock Dunlop's to a set of night dragons and I'm not 100% sure what psi to run. They say max psi is 50 and if I remember correctly the Dunlop's max was 40 and I ran about 34 and 38 based on the manual. I've heard if you run the night dragons low you'll shred them fairly quickly. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions would be appreciated. (Thinking of running 44 and 48 as of now)

I've messed around with tire pressures quite a bit on the Night Dragons. On my Wide Glide with a 90/90-21 front the sweet spot is 39 - 41 PSI, on the 180/60-17 rear the sweet spot is 42 - 44 PSI.
No abnormal tire wear patterns, great handling. Night Dragons do have a more rounded profile so that does make them more sensitive to their tire pressures...
