anyone have torque specs for the 2016 street glide fork clamp pinch bolts. if you have the caliper and axle nut and axle pinch bolt torque that would be great as well. I found a few specs online but want to be sure there correct. I'm ordering a manual but need the specs now. Thanks for the help

fork clamp pinch bolts (upper and lower) = 14-18 ft lbs
caliper mounting bolts = 28-38 ft lbs
front axle nut = 70-75 ft lbs
front axle pinch screw = 18-22 ft lbs

 

14-18 ft/lbs just doesn't seem like it's enough.
Video I watched from the company I got my new fork cartridges from said the service manual says 20 ft/lbs, but even that doesn't seem like much. After install and a short ride, the fork tubes have slid up in the tree's. Idk exactly how much, but there's definitely more showing that when I initially installed them back on the bike. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

With a concern over the correct figures and this being a part of the bike that is essential for correct assembly, get your self a service manual.

Just for comparison on a Sportster the yoke pinch bolts are 30 to 35 ft-lbs

 

I've removed and reinstalled the forks on my '14 Limited several times. They've never slid up the tree. I don't have my manual in front of me, but there is a specific procedure for tightening the pinch bolts.

 

Ya. Thats what the guy said in the video. I think it was top, bottom, top, bottom. Which is what i did. Thanks. I think ill call my local MoCo later.

 

Service manual calls for 14-18 ft lbs; I recently put mine together and just rechecked torque the other day. Haven't had any issue w/tubes riding up in trees, but I did clean up the bores in trees with a little emory cloth prior to assembling so you might give that a try.

 

Will definitely try that. Thanks for the idea.
