Im sorry Gramps, but where did I state that I said that in my Original Post? I said I stated it in my POST...key word "original" is cleary missing there. Regardless...I asked a simple question that deserved a simple answer that could of helped me out. But no, instead I got a bunch of old farts thinkin their the cream of the crop trying to be cool and cocky.

Oh and just to justify the whole "smartass" thing; my response was no more offensive than yours and was followed by a "hahaha" aka "joking".

Put on your glasses next time and maybe you would of seen these things.

wow, you even get 'RTFM' responses on a Harley Forum! Heheh I was going to ask about suppliers for Drag bars but I guess the answer will be ... "Google It".

Adam T, I dont think there is a torque spec for exhaust... just don't crack the gasket. If you must, probably start at around 12 ftlbs and check for leaks.

Yes, there are torque specs for the exhaust. I just can't remember what my manual says......I think it was like between 8 and 13 ft/lbs, but don't quote me on that as it's been a while since I've look that up.

Just did this the other day on my 04. Should be the same for yours since the exhaust is the same.

This is directly from my Clymer Manual

Muffler mounting bolts: 15-19 FT-lb
Flange nuts at cylinder head: 96-120 IN-lb
Torca Clamps: 45-65 FT-lb
Rear pipe mount: 15-19 FT-lb
