>And what does the '86 and newer' sticker says?  Anyone?

It's interesting looking at the variation.  My '87 Westy only lists two
choices -

185R14C/6PR 39 psi Front, 48 psi Rear
205/70R14 97R (reinforced):  30 psi front; 40 psi rear

I am running an in between size, 195R14 C  103R at 39 front, 45 rear.
It is, as Joel says, a matter of intelligently adjusting based on what feels
good for that particular tire.  Les Schwab, the chain I bought my Kumho 852s
at, filled them all to 35 psi, which felt too loose.

For my 90 Syncro Westy the door sticker reads:

185R14C/6PR/8PR:   43 psi front; 48 psi rear
205R14C/6PR/8PR:   36 psi front; 43 psi rear
205/70R14(reinforced):  36 psi front; 40 psi rear
