100 - 120 in/lbs is not that tight and you have the others to get some sort of idea of the force needed.

Checked the nuts a couple of times over the first 1000 or so Kms but all secure and stayed so for the next 25,000+ Kms.

The torque on those nuts is more to prevent you to strip the threads.

RB racing spyder pipe ... yum! Nice one!! Will need to see pictures when installed.
will do, 4-6 week build time.....good things come to those that wait, I have a build thread going, I've done LOTS TO THIS ROCKER C,just over 3k miles, did a Hillside 107ci build, etc...got a lot going on, Baker products going in now.....

here you can see how the end where the socket goes isn't square so there's some play allowing the socket an extention not line up perfectly an work

I have a few of the universal type like the one pictured in post #7 but they can be bulky in tight spots

The proper ratchet will get you where you need to be.

I appreciated snap on, I truly do, duty I have heads , actually thinner, never thought of it, but a swinging head, a deep socket, with whichever head size would do it thanks...

Did you remove the heatshields? With out the heatshields access is much better with a deep socket...

Yea, Snap-on is expensive AF but they always have a tool that gets your socket right where it needs to align up with the nut. Glad it all worked out.
