Default Torque Spec Question

Going to put my new Progressive shocks on the bike tomorrow. Anyone know what the torque specs are for the shock mounting bolts? If not I'll just go a quarter turn past tight and use red loctite

This.



Definitely use blue. You might think you never need to remove the shocks, but I guarantee you will at some point.

Thanks for the specs. And I was kidding about the red. Having had to use a blow torch to remove bolts that someone else used red on I am all too aware of the PITA factor.
