Default Road King Slipons

Hey all,

Just got some slipons for a 16 Road King, does anyone have the torque specs for the clamps and bolts?

Thanks,

try the clamps at 32 ft lbs- the torca clamps harley uses are considered 1 use only, as they deform.

the torque spec is more like 36 but if you can get a seal at a lower torque spec, they won;t deform as much and can be reused a few times

for the 4 rear mounting bolts, about 16~20 ft pounds.

Mike

Once again thanks! Install was easy, I'd say 2 beers... and that's mostly working the olds slip ons off.

Got Cobra NH series, sound great on the King!
