head bolts?
i just got an internal breather/bracket for an after market air cleaner (goodson) and i wanted to know how tight should the head bolts be? when i was removing my stock air cleaner they didnt feel very tight, almost finger tight, is that normal?

Are you speaking of the A/C backing plate bolts that
attach to the head??
It really don't matter what the terminology is,
there is not a single fastener on the entire machine
that will require "almost finger tight" fastening.
With the exception of the caps on the tire stems.

yes the bolts that go directly into the heads from the bracket (sorry my terminology sucks, i rarely know the proper names for parts). i thought that was kind of fuct up, i guess i should start going through all the bolts and make sure they are tight since these were so loose.

and often fall completely off.
Another one I've heard of are the rear sprocket bolts.
Also, on my machine, the front axle retainer cap bolts
loosened at pretty low milage.
These are two on the bottom of the right hand slider.
