Default 09 triglide top motor mount bolt torque

Hate to ask guys but I need a torque spec.
09 103 Triglide.

We recently moved and my manual hasn't surfaced yet.

I am looking for the spec on the 2 bolts that hold the plate onto the front cylinder where the top link bolts to. Being around the exhaust port I'm figuring it's too hot for a loctite to help hold it so I'm figuring it's a pure torque issue?

I really need to tear open a bunch of boxes and find my manual. 😡

My manual says, for top engine mounting bracket to front cylinder head:
30-35 ft-lbs (41-48 Nm)
No mention of Loctite.

BUT, if you have the chrome plate:
“Apply a few drops of Loctite 272 to the new bolts in the kit. ...
Tighten bolts to 40.6–47.4 Nˇm (30–35 ft-lbs).”

Hope this helps.

Thanks again.
