Default Factory Exhaust Torque Setting?

In about an hour or so I will be installing my Vance and Hines Short Shots on my 09 Iron and I need to know the factory torque settings so when I put it on I get it back up to par. :-) I already got blue loctite and anti-seize for the 02 sensor but need them torque settings!

Also....torque settings on the Intake Filter? Swapping in the Heavy Breather today as well.

I have the owners manual for my bike but couldn't find the settings in there...maybe i'm a little retarded today?

Not to be an a$$hat, but if you're going to do your own work on the bike, you need to buy the Service Manual. What you're saving by doing the labor yourself, easily justifies buying the necessary manual.

Not to be an a$$hat in my response, but assuming you have the Service Manual...wtf are the torque settings? Hahahah.

I am ordering the Service Manual but my local H-Dealer didn't have any available to buy.

Anyone??

I'll be an asshat You come here asking for help then are a smartass to one of the most knowledgable and helpful members here? Seems like a contradiction. But I'll be helpful for ya. For your application the torque is 350 ft lbs

I don't understand why you guys aren't being helpful and just saying "hey buy a manual". Like I stated in my post, Harley is all out of them and ordering them online will take about a week to get to me. I have the exhaust and bike now...hence the reason for my asking help.

50% if not MORE of the questions asked in this section could be answered by the manual, but people still ask and get help.

Oh and MechsHands...let me get this straight, the guy who was a smartass in the first place and didn't answer my question to begin with is one of the most knowledgable and helpful members on here? Damn...that's sad. What's sadder are the people who click on the question in the forum....going into the thread KNOWING what the question is asking....just to be ******.

If I didn't know better I would of thought I belonged to a Kawasaki forum or some ****.

BUMP. Anyone actually have the answer to my questions? Thanks in advance to people who can be mature about the question. :-)

I guess I like to think ahead. Before I did anything on my bike that I had planned I had the manual in my hands. Especially with things like exhausts etc. Heck I had the service manual and owners manual on the way before I got the bike home.

And sorry I will take Charley and his inputs anyday :-) Even being new to the forum I am already tired of reading threads people could have found by using the search function or people who are too heap to buy a manual. If I'm tired of it I can imagine how the oldtimers feel.

How many dealers are in your area? I know in my area there are many and at least one of them had the manual

That is not what you said in the original post. The only thing you said in the OP was that you have the Owners manual and that you could not find torque spec's there. Well duh, what Owners Manual have you ever seen torque spec's. in?

Had you said in the OP that you had a Service Manual on order, instead of implying that you expected to find torque spec's on the OM, you would likely received more help. Instead, you decided to respond to my post with a smarta$$ reply.

Had you not been a smarta$$, I would have told you where to get the official Harley Parts & Service Manuals for $29.00 (for both) and you could have had them in your hands TODAY.

Well, no skin off my back. I have a manual.

Have a nice day.
