RE: torque settings
My 2001 Buell (which the a Sportster Engine) has the following sequence
If you are sitting on the bike looking down toward the engine
Front cylinder 1 ----------- 3
Spark plug----->
Front Cylinder 2 ---------- 4
Rear cylinder 2 ---------- 4
Spark plug------>
Rear cylinder 1 ---------- 3
They should be tightened in order(1 to 4) to 7-9 Ft lbs, then tightened again in order to 13 - 15 Ft lbs. THEN loosen all screws.
Re tighten AGAIN as above but then each screw should be tightened a FURTHER 90 degrees ( one quarter turn)
All explained a lot better in the manual, but that is basically it.
Hope this helps
