Default Torx settings iron 883

Hi All,

I have a 2016 Iron 883 sportster but do not have the service manual for it. I am looking for some help on the torn settings on the struts and suspension (have circled the four that I am on after on the picture)

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers!

Darren

Same torque values in my service manual as Cool Inferno.
Upper and lower shock bolts 45-50 ft lbs
Turn signal stalk nuts 132-216 in lbs
Strut cover screws 132-216 in lbs
Note fender bolts are "in-lbs" not ft-lbs.

I use Craftsman or Duralast torx sockets. They both work fine for me. I recently bought the Duralast set because they were longer and I needed more reach in tight areas for a Corvette that I was rebuilding. Sears has a good deal right now on a Drve and Torx set. Keeps them all in a handy case. You can put it on your Santa list LOL

How you like those rear shock/springs? They look good that's for sure.
