changing rear shocks.. question?
Alright, I did a search to see if i could come up with a torque number for the upper and lower bolts for my rear shocks when i change them. I got several different numbers that were all over the place from several different people.
Does anyone know the accurate numbers for this on a 08 dyna superglide custom? The shocks are off a streetbob if it matters.
Also kind of stupid question, but i figured i asked before I buy a jack, do I need a bike jack to do this or can u get away with changing them one at a time with the bike on the kickstand? I figure not, but why not ask.
Thanks for the help!!!!

Both upper and lower are set at 30-40ft/lbs.
The 70 to 85 is only for the upper mount stud, not the nut holding the shock in place.
People probably have done them one at a time on the kickstand, but I'll bet they turned the air blue around them at the same time. I would recommend the jack stand, makes the job so much easier.
