Torquing rear rocker box
I began tearing down my 2010 flhx today so I can install my fuelmoto 107" kit. I had some trouble removing the rear rocker box as there's not a lot of room to get a ratchet in there on the left side of the motor (horn side). My question is, when I reinstall the rocker boxes I'm worried I won't have enough room to get my torque wrench in there. How are you guys doing this with the limited room on the rear cylinder? Any info is appreciated!
Their called Torque Wench Adapters.
MAC and Snap-on tools have them. You can just buy the one you need or a set from your friendly Snap-o or MAC truck.
Here are some on ebay for your information:

They also turn a different tq value than what you will set wrench to. Will have to add a few ft lbs to compensate. Just buy a 1/2" 3/8 drive adapter and you are good. The universal adapter that will use you socket may have clearance issues.

I don't worry about torqueing each fastener. If I can get a torque wrench on one, I then put a box end wrench on the ones I can't use the torque wrench on and tighten until it "feels" right. It won't matter if you are a couple of foot pounds off either way.
Nothing wrong with the torque wrench adapters; just saying they are not necessary.
