I think my RK has a sticker in the right side bag that says what the pressure should be. I'm at work and don't recall what it says, but I think that I run 34 in each (although it's a lighter bike than your UC)

Look on your frame rail in front of the motor. There is a sticker there with recommeded pressure for your bike. My 08 standard is on the left downtube.

The sidewall of the tire will give Max pressure. I go about 2 pounds below Max in each tire.

If the bike is loaded down with baggage or i'm 2-up (which is rare) then I'll set the rear tire at Max pressure and the front at 2 lbs under Max.
