As an old circle track racer and engine builder we had a simple rule of thumb. Never reuse torqued fasteners that were used in the engine, tranmission, or drive train. Bolts are cheap when compared to failures resulting from reuse of these fasteners. The only exception was if we had to do something at the race track that day and then we still replaced those fasteners when we returned to the shop.

You guys have me convinced. I'm getting new bolts. Probably some ARP SS because I don't trust the Chinese chrome HD bolts now.
I find it interesting that the manual does not say anything about replacing the fork axle cap bolts. That is just as critical IMO and they are torqued.
