Default wideglide triple tree question

Quick questions. I just picked-up an 08 FXDWG and I'm going over it. How far should the fork legs stick up past the top triple tree? What is the torque setting for the fork legs in the triple tree (pinch bolts)? Thanks.

Default RE: wideglide triple tree question

i know on the '06 and '07 models the manual states .500 of an inch (1/2 inch, about).... and the pinch bolts for those years- which i would imagine can't be very different from the '08s considering their 49mm tubes- is 30 to 35 lbs
