Default Torque Specs Questions

I am re doing the front sliders, clamps and bars on my 2012 street bob. I was just wondering if anyone knew the torque specs for the tree stem bolt, the clamp top and bottom bolts, the slider bolt inside the lower slider and the front wheel. Also has anyone had issues getting the dust seal covers back on after powdercoating the lowers?

Thanks

i wanna say the top stem bolt was 56lbs... on the dust seals we now changed how we mask for lowers to allow the dust caps to go on smoother... you can take your old seal use that as a spacer and pop it with your seal driver... it will work to pop the dust cap on and not scratch it.. do not forget to adjust your fall away on your front end

Basically you will need assorted large sockets a breaker bar and torque wrench, long and regular Allen sockets a seal driver or 2 inch PVC pipe and a spare set of hands or a vice. Assuming you have some mechanical skill. Dont forget what order you taking things apart in. Oh and and punch or screwdriver for the dust seal. 56 lbs sounds about right I just hate messing with threaded metal if I don't have torque specs I always seem to want to tighten too much.
