early vs late model flh 1983
Hi, I have a 1983 flh police bike, I have rebuilt the tranny and in the process of putting it all back together. In the manual, under torque spec's, it says for the transmission sprocket locknut, it should be 105 - 120 foot lbs for early 83 and earlier, for late 83 and later, it should be 80 - 90 ft lbs, The vin number is higher then 013030. I have tried to find info on internet with no luck. I would like to figure this out as I don't want to over or under torque this nut.
thank you in advance, Mike
