Brother, you da man. Unfortunately I'm traveling overseas at the moment and cant swing by and check, but will do so first thing.
And yep, I have ordered a small tyre gauge, so will follow you guys recommendations.
1200crider - yep I see a jpeg attachment but no pic. And when I click the attachment, it gives me an error message.

Many thanks kind sir, and since you have taken the proverbial nibble, allow me to fish a bit more!
1.Guess you have the 2012 XL?
2.Same tyres would mean the 130 front and 150 rear Michelin Scorcher 31's? (dont have the manual with me, but I guess you know what I'm saying)
3. Could you post the exact tyre number you have in the manual?
4. Does the manual explicitly state 36 and 40 "cold"? Is there such a big difference front and rear even though they seem to be the same type of tyre?
5. I've been "guesstimate" filling the tyres to approx 36 and 40 thus far after a few miles of riding - does that mean I'm over or underfilling vs the recommendations?
Many, many thanks in advance!
