Pretty shaky info there....

I just looked at this link you posted, the list of torques does not even call out what year or model bike.

The torques called out on this website aren`t even close to the torques called out in the factory manual for a Rushmore touring bike...

OP: According to the factory service manual,

Front axle nut torque: 70-75 ft.lb.

Rear axle:
First torque 15-20 ft.
Final torque 95-105 ft.lb.

There is nothing more critical to your safety than mounting the wheels onto your motorcycle, guessing your way through it is asking for trouble.

Get out and buy a factory service manual.

EDIT:
In the future...You should be able to call a Dealership's Service Dept and get that kind of info.

I don't have that model, so can't answer your question, however there is a good reason why members are repeatedly recommended to buy the FSM! There is an enormous amount of data and useful info in them, which tells you most of what you need to know about your bike. Asking a specific question in here means you are depending on someone passing by with that info close at hand and, as you are discovering, that can take some while......
