On the EG (2010) without the Tour-Pak I set 15psi when riding solo and 25psi two-up. With the Tour-Pak installed I use 20psi solo, 30psi two-up plus 5-10psi for luggage during long trips.
After 3 weeks very little pressure is lost and tire wear is well distributed.

What confirmed this for me was there was a store bought bag of potato chips in tour pac and the bag blew open. Just saying adjust not only for how you are going to ride but where you are going to ride.

Now that story sounds a bit overinflated to me.
