Default Torque value

Does anybody know the correct torque value for the 27 torq screw on the derby cover. I just tightened them down and was going to finish torquing them today, but forgot to look in my manual before I left the house this morning to see the value.
Okay, so I'm an idiot. That being said, I know where to get the info.

Thanks for the help.

My '07' FLSTCspecs are84-108 In lbs (9.5-12.2 Nm) Screws should be alternately tightened.

They don't have to be really tight, but as mentioned the main thing is following that alternate pattern as you go round the derby cover. Just "snug" is how I did mine and no problems at all.
