Depends on how much I'm haulin'... But usually 38 front, and 40 rear. Dunlop Elite III's. But it also depends on the tire. Look on your side wall, it'll tell ya the max. Go from there. Keep a log book with the difference pressures, and how it rides. After a while, you'll zero in on the right pressure for your ride.

39-40 both front and rear, 38 on hack. A tech told me the other day that H-D now recommends 40 in both front and rear for Dunlops.
