Default pulley torque spec?

Anyone have the torque specs for the rear pulley? Mag off an '08 if that matters.

Should be using new HD screws that come with the pre-applied threadlocker. If using new aftermarket screws, then 2-3 drops of red Loctite 262. Should also clean out the threads in wheel hub.

From my 2012 HD SM: initial torque of 60 ft-lbs then back off 180 degrees, final torque of 77-83 ft-lbs.

I should mention my specs came from an '07 SM.

I am pretty certain this is old info. HD Service Bulletin M-1219 dated April 15, 2008 states the specs I mentioned above for all 1999 and later HD Models except VRSC.

Thanks--I didn't know that, I will note that in my SM.
