Default axle torque specs

While I wait for my service manual to arrive in the mail, can someone give me the front and rear axle bolt torque specs, as well as belt tension specs for an '03 Heritage Classic.

Default RE: axle torque specs

Well I can give you the axel torque specs and they are 50 pounds on the front and back. The big thing to remember is to put anti sieze grease on your axel if you pull it out and put it back in. As far as the belt goes sit on the bike and have somebody take the bottom portion of the belt and lift it up. It should not move up more than 1/2 an inch.
