Glyder; I was unable to locate the rear wheel torque spec and the local H-D dealer was of no help so I torqued mine at 100 ft. lbs. which should be more than enough. Also, I had my wheels chromed so that is another reason I would rather be on the high side.

I make a habit of checking mine every couple thousand miles and have not had any problems.

I have torqued mine several times and I look it up in the service manual each time. Like Jimer, I remember it to be either 90 or 100 ft lbs.
