RE: Shock torque values please
Now isn't this a bit confusing\\; different values from two different people. Let me be more specific 2002 Dyna Low Rider. What I might do is just get out my torque wrench and gently creep up on torque on the bolts now attaching my shocks. That way I will get close to what is required, eh? Thank you all.

hold on, 25-40 pounds is a little light.... honestly, though....if i had cranked those upper bolts to 75 pounds, I'd have either stripped the strut or snapped the bolt.. i remember running into this problem when i changed the stock out to the 440s

probably 50 times. Torqued to 85 (top bolt) everytime.
1/2 inch fine thread.
