Torque Specs Needed, Please...

Just got my new Stage 1 parts in and realized the exhaust installation papers don't include torque specs for the head nuts... I won't be able to get to a service manual anytime soon... Anyone have this info readily available?

Bike is a 15 Dyna (Fat Bob)...

TIA!

Start with the front. Put nut on lower stud finger tight.
Torque upper to 9-18 in.-lbs. (NOT ft.-lbs.)
Tighten lower nut to 60-80 in. lbs.
Tighten upper to 60-80 in.lbs.

Repeat with rear flange.

Be sure to check those nuts after a couple heat cycles and periodically after that.

Your manual should have been your first purchase, before starting modifications. Jus' sayin'! Get one ordered today......
