Default header bolt torque

Can someone tell me what the header bolt torque should be on a 2010 and if it's stepped or just a strait torque? I know I need to pick up a manual but I don't have it right now.

Thanks

According to my 2010 Dyna service manual the exhaust flange nuts are stepped torqued first at 9-18 in-lbs and then to 100-120 in-lbs. Personally I always torque progressively, you know, 50, 75, 100, 120 or thereabouts. Just makes me think I'm doing a good thing. And I always run through several heat cycles and then do it again. Also I suggest you use a 1/4 in drive Syntech torque wrench or equilavent to get the most accurate reading. Cost more but worth every penny if you do a lot of small torque values. In addition to my 2 10-15k$ motorcycles, I own 6 racing bicycles which average in cost from 5-6k$ each so for me it was worth the investment.
