I installed Dunlap Elite 4 Tires on my 1998 Valkrie.

What is the recommended tire pressure?

Dunlop recommends 36psi front and 40psi rear.  (Max load @ 41psi for both front and rear Elite-4 Radials.)

Check it out...

Some go high for longevity

Some go lower for a less bumpy ride.

Your choice.

I do it like the race guys, ride your bike as normal for about 5 miles then feel the tyres(English)
If hot to the touch then  tyres are too soft and funnily enough if cold to the touch then they are too hard.
Just warm is where you want to be.
This methods takes account of your weight, riding style etc.
