Default Looking for Torque info for Risers

Putting 4.5 inch risers on my Heritage Softail tomorrow. Does anybody know the torque specs for the risers themselves and the cap screws?

Thanks.

tight then quarter of a turn, or if your feeling ballsy do 1/2 a turn past pretty much just make sure they are tight.
