RE: TOURQUE WRENCH HELP
There are many areas that require the use of IN LBS on a Harley so I suggest you invest the $70 bucks at sears and get one with IN LBS also. Thats what I did and its the most accurate way to get things done correctly.

RE: TOURQUE WRENCH HELP
I just bought it last night and the package say "DUAL SCALES provides inch and metric setting capability" so I figured it had and inch scale and it has ft. pounds on one side and newton meters on the other side.
I must have been mislead.

If you're going to get in to the business of maintenance, you should have both a foot/newton torque wrench and a inch/whatevermetric torque wrench. Go back and buy the inch pound wrench and keep your big one too.

Both made by craftsman, good units, both are the clicker types
