Cool Torque rear sprocket

What is the procedure for checking the torque on the rear wheel sprocket on Softails ?

There is no procedure for checking torque on sprocket bolts, just like there no procedure for checking head bolt torque. The general rule is to mark the bolt heads with a sharpie and a corresponding mark on the sprocket. If they dont line up, then pull the wheel and replace the bolts before a serious problem arises. Dont disturb the bolts once they've been initially torqued.
