To be honest I'm not sure what the 35 psi on your sticker is for but I looked up the fork air pressure in the Kawasaki service manual for our bike and it says the fork pressure is 5.7 to 8.5 psi. Is the 35 possibly a rating in kpa? Not sure what its for but I know that is too much pressure for the fork in psi. If you do decide to set the pressure get a hand pump with its own gauge so you can get it between 5.7 and 8.5 which is a small window. You also have to have the front end off the ground and try to get both forks as equal as possible.
Current Bikes: KZ440 LTD and KZ305 CSR

Well now I am a little concerned to be honest. I am attaching a pic of the sticker, I hope you guys can read it. concern #1 now is that the forks on my bike have somehow come from another bike that allows a higher PSI, #2 if so the seals I bought for my stock CSR1000 are not right, If I tear them apart and the seals are wrong I'll really be screwed, I put some air in the other day carefully with a hand pump and a sensitive gauge and the forks did not hold air. so NOW, what do I do. my front shocks are shot! :(

My understanding is the 'CSR' stood for 'Chrome Spoke Rims'. Your handlebars do look good on there. I've got some clubman bars on my '81 CSR. I would love to find an alternative to the red brick of a tail light that I have going on. I do like the chrome LED signals that I've found.
