Default Horn bracket to head torque?

Anyone know what the torque is for the two bolts that hold the bracket to the heads? Can't find it anywhere in the 2010 touring service manual.

For an '06 it is 80-100 in-lbs. Might give you some idea. Try looking in the electrical section. Also, torque specs are listed at the beginning of every section for all hardware covered in that section.

Default Bracket torque

Bracket to heads not horn to bracket. Two bolts that go into the head. Somewhere from 27-40 ft lbs i have got from dealerships just can't find it for myself it;s not in the 2010 touring serv. man.

Yeah, I double checked and realized that it wasn't describing mounting to the head. Dropped the ball on that one.

This looks to make more sense according to the Engine Mounting Bracket illustration in my '06 SM. This info is in section 1.19 of my SM and the spec is not in a chart but in a written instruction under Engine Mounts (Top).

Don't feel too bad HD customer service tech line said the same thing to me. They forgot to list it in the 2010 manual. The bracket was loose when i went to take the 96'' out at 3000 miles on my 2010 RGC
