Default 21' front wheel conversion?

i am converting to a renegade 21' front wheel on my 07 streetglide,my question is..what should i use as far as lock tite for the rotor bolts and axle bolt? and what are the torque readings for both,any help would be extremely helpful...since how the harley dealership will not give out torque specs cause they don't want to become liable.thanks Zach

First thing the best money you can spend is to buy the HD service manual.
brake disk "rotor" front 16-24 ft. lbs" new bolts from dealer" blue locktite
rear 30-45 ft. lbs
axel clamp pinch nuts 132-180 in. lbs "right fork leg" 132 in. lbs ÷ 12 = 11 ft. lbs
front axel 50-55 ft. lbs
rear axel 95-105 ft. lbs
brake caliper front28-38 ft. lbs
I just put their wheels on my Street Glide

You should loosen your front fender & lift it from the rear as far as it will go. It will have the least clarence at 10 o'clock'
Tape a piece vacuum tube on the tire and run it around to ck. clarence.
Late, Mike

It might clear, you need to check it. If it rubs your fender it will smoke the paint in a heartbeat. Oh your welcome for the torque specs.

yes thank you for torque specs. i just called renegade and PM and they said that with a metzler tire there is no mods needed for the fender,it's the avon tire that will grow as the speed increases but the metzler only grows like a max of 1mm at almost 130mph. also i didn't order a rear wheel cause it's alot of money for something that you can't see.
