I use the Metzler recommended pressures. Since your link doesnt make it clear, I've highlighted them in red for 04 & up Sporties with a 150 or 160 rear tire.

Front 38-40 40-42 40-42
Rear 44-46 46-48 46-48

For bikes that use the following rear tire sizes: 170/80B-15, 180/70B-15, 150/80B-16, 160/80B-16, 180/60R16, 180/70R16, 200/60R16, 240/50R16, 170/60R17, 200/50ZR17, 210/50ZR17, 150/70-18, 180/55ZR18, 200/50ZR18, 210/40R18, 240/40R18, 260/40R18, 280/35R18, 300/35R18, and 260/35R21.

I run just slightly higher than the recommended pressure that cHarley listed. Just a pound or two. Seems to work fairly well. I got 16,000 miles on my first rear Metz, and the front now is approaching 20,000 miles, it's still in great condition. I didn't really reazlize the front has that many miles, until just now. But it sure does. But, you're not gonna get anywhere near that many miles running the 21" tire.
