Torque value for caliper bolts

Don't have access to a service manual at the moment...can anyone tell me the torque value for the front brake caliper mounting bolts on a '14 Limited?

That was nice of JCB to reply with actual information instead of saying...BTFM!! Which is what many of us would have said, if you are doing your own service.

I've been at friends houses working on their Bike & needed a SM, forgot to bring mine & they couldn't find theirs so I called another & asked him the question. Its all good in the long run but yes, if you're going to work on your own, a SM is needed ... HD also sells a small pocket version that has TQ Values in it.

I've found nearly all HD torque values are the same as the values generally accepted for a given size and grade. A little lee way is generally accepted anyway.
