Seriously mine is lowered 1" and I run 25 PSI in my shocks when I am solo. I add 5 PSI for 2 up.
At 25 PSI I will occasionally bottom out if I don't absorb large bumps with my legs.

I don't know the exact answer, but I think HD has a 'technical' max weight for each of the luggage attachments, ie saddlebags, etc. And if you add that to the rider limits you might have their 'official' number. In any case, higher tire pressure is probably a good idea.
