Anyone know what the riser bolts on a 2018 softail (fatboy) are supposed to be torqued to ? I decided to try adjusting my handlebars before I bite the bullet and get new risers or bars, and the bolts were just barley snugged down. Thanks for any info...
As a side note, I rolled the bars forward to match the angle of the forks (which I read about on here) and it made a huge difference. I was constantly having to move forward in my seat because I felt like I was reaching for my grips. Now Im able to sit up straighter and its much more comfortable
