Default Torquing rocker box

Getting ready to do some work on a 2015 Street Glide. Just wondering what people are using to torque the rocker covers down with since some bolts aren't very accessible. Would a claws foot work or do you have to use a dog bone wrench. Im sure there are some tips or tricks out there. Just want to have everything I need before starting.......Thanks

I use dog bones 90 degrees to my tq wrench. Less math.

torque adapters at a 90 degree angle is what the manual says.

I torque those by "feel", no leaks from many.
