Default Critical Fasteners

For the sake of us folk with older scoots, could one of you who owns a Wide Gide and who has a service manual that lists critical fasteners reproduce that list here? I'm sure many people would find it very useful.

I have a 98 Wide Glide, and the manual says to "torque all fasteners, except head bolts, to specifications." That's a lot of bolts! As I understand it, the SM for newer models actually specifies a list of critical fasteners that should be checked.

As an example of what I'm talking about, below is the list of CF's for an '09 Electra Glide Standard, which I found in another thread.

Interesting: Mine is a 98 and I don't see a critical fasteners list in my SM, yet your 97 manual has one? That's odd: I wonder if I'm just not seeing it.

No, you are correct. I don't have a "critical fastners" list in my manual (which covers the '97 and '98 WG). The only list I have is for Fastner Torque Values on page 1-9. You have to go through each section to find out what you need to check.
