Fork Rebuild - Need Torque Specs

2011 Ultra Limited.

Looking for some help from my forum brothers. Getting ready to install RaceTech rear shocks and front fork innards this weekend (gold emulators, springs, bushings, seals & oil).

I'd sure appreciate someone posting the torque specifications for the various fasteners involved in the project:

Rear Shock Mount bolts
Fork Damping Rod bolt
Fork Cap
Fork Cap bolt (the big bolt that screws into the fork cap)
Front Axle Nut
Front Axle/Fork Bottom nuts
Fork Pinch bolts

And any other fasteners that I forgot to mention.

Thanks

One thing for what it's worth...if you **** if not disregard
On the gold emulators the thread count is 32 teeth per inch
1/32. = @.032
That's one complete turn is your moving it .032
So if you want to move it 2 1/2 turns it will be .080
That's .032 + .032 + .016= .080
Measure the OVAL length of the spring
Now Measure from a couple solid locations and get the washers set in accordance with theOVAL length of the Spring then from the same locations subtract the .080 from there and set both the same...
Another tip would be and I found this out the hard way by experimenting with my bike and a buddy's bike in which I had to tear apart later to redo to make the same as mine...
There's 2 small holes in the Emulators there around .090 diameter holes...
Add the 2 additional ones to make 4 holes in each Emulator
Will be worth your while to do it now rather then later
I know that why I experimented with my buddy's to see if there would be a difference in not having the 2 additional ones and it did make quite a difference...
This tip comes to you by Rick - 04SE deuce from HTT
