Default Torque Spec. Fatboy oil drain plug

Anyone know what it is on the engine oil drain plug? Beein using the "it feels right" method but that's not necessarily the best way.

Thanks.

That torque should be in the 14-21 ft lbs range, but the important thing is the"O" ring has to be in good condition to seal it well.

Thanks TC. I use a new "O" ring every time and would guess that's about the amount of torque I put on it. Sounds like a new torque wrench might be in order for my B. day....if I can ever learn to behave.
