I guess it's very individual. Also riding style and road conditions affect how the suspension should be set. I have 2nd ring for the front, 4/5 for the rear (2nd hardest) and tyres at 36/42.
I think CIPs got it with:
It's funny I have always regarded the CB as a soft ride. Softer (preload) front assists turn in so I go that way. I keep the tyre pressures up as I often ride loaded and some of our country roads have pot holes that would swallow a Mack truck. I hope that this will limit sidewall damage.
Cheers

The rear set on standard 2 setting, three was much to harsh. This combo seemed to work well for me. Experiment with different setting until you feel the front reacts best with the rear.
With the new tires i have bumped up air pressure to 34/38.
