Torque Setting question
Probably a stupid question, but here goes
I have a 2012 SB and am changing/upgrading with the following;
- mustang solo seat
- progressive 412 rear shocks
- FL-XiED
- V&H short shorts
- Kuryakan Mach 2 aircleaner
I am not an experienced mechanic or know much about these mods, but would like to try them in order to learn a bit more
However, this will likely be the limit of my "mechanical tinkering"
Do I need to worry about torque settings for any of those (except the XiED's) or do I simply tighten them and add some threadlocker?
If I need to worry about torque, do I need to purchase a manual for the settings?
I understand the benefit of a manual, but honestly, anything else I will likely get someone to do for me
