Default Crossbones help needed

I got my new crossbones a little over a month ago and everything has been great, i went to replace the primary cover and I cant seem to find any of the specs anywhere... I had ordered the book at the beginning of april but it is still not in cuz the dealership in my area is extremely unorganized, i have 2 days to get this on properly or i cant do the Port Dover Friday the 13th run (big Canadian rally)...&nbsp\\; if someone can help PLEASE, i need the TORQUE SPECS for the bolts, and the PATTERN OR SEQUENCE IN WHICH TO TIGHTEN THEM.&nbsp\\; thanx

I beleive the correct torque is 9-10 foot pounds. I don't know about the tightening pattern, but if you tighten the bolts diagonally, you should be good to go.

108-120 in-lbs (12.2-13.6Nm) this is from the manual, I also drew you a pic of the sequence to tighten the primary bolts up, manual does state to replace your gasket every time you remove the primary. Hope this helps out.
