Default 97 RK with 26 inch wheel. Need help

Hi, I have a 97 road king with 26 inch wheel that I removed to have the wheel polished and cleaned up. I believe the torque for the shaft nut is 40 foot lbs ( please correct me if I'm wrong no manual yet). I'm trying to find out the torque specs for the front wheel pinch bolts and the caliper. Trying to to break anything by over tightening or have the wheel slide out. Thank you in advance for any assistance!

9 to 13 foot pounds on the cap nuts (I usually use blue lock tight and lock washers) and 45 to 50 on the axle nut I usually do 60..

The manual says 45 to 50 pounds and warns about over tightening because the bearings may be squashed
