Take a look at the beginning of this document for a good explaination:

I will run my CSC Viper at around 20-22 psi and it feels just right.
On our 2010 Goldwing CSC Cobra we have an Avon Trike tire on the front and run 36-40 lbs in it. Still experimenting with it.
On the rear we run anywhere from 22-24.
Just have to play with it to see what handles and rides the best for you.

Not to complicate it, but just to say our trike uses two Progressive Suspension #416 series "air/spring shocks", I usually run 60-75psi in them. Not knowing what yours is, could be same or air bags or springs only or [B]???[/B]
Most trike kits recommend about the same. 40-41 in front 22-24 in rear. The rear will probably rot before you wear them out BUT, do not keep them on the bike more than 5-6 yrs. Tread my still ok but tires my fail.
