Default Oxygen sensor torque value?

When installing the O2 sensors, how much torque should be applied?

Hi, according to the Harley07 Dyna manual the torque setting is 29-44 ft lbs (39.3-59.7nm). It does say to an anti-seize on the threads which is a good idea as they can be a bitch to remove.
Hope this helps.

Enough to keep it tight, but not enough to strip it or break it.

Does the torque value take in consideration the use of the anti-seize? Is this anti- sieze a high temp variety? The ignitors in the jet engines I was familar with used a hi-temp but were also safety wired to stay in place.
