I was wanting to know the torque specs on the following for a 2015 Ultra Limited Low:
Rear Axle Nut, Rear Caliper Bolts, Font Axle Nut, Lower Locking Bolt, and Front Caliper Bolts.
Let me be the first.... buy the factory service manual and the parts manual. Two of the best tools you'll own. I guarantee you that you will get a few smart *** remarks on this question. Be prepared!!!
I was wanting to know the torque specs on the following for a 2015 Ultra Limited Low:
Rear Axle Nut 1st Torque 15-20 ft-lbs - Final Torque 95-105 ft-lbs
Rear Caliper Bolts 43-48 ft-lbs
Front Axle Nut 70-75 ft-lbs
Lower Locking Bolt
Front Caliper Bolts 28-38 ft-lbs
What's a lower locking bolt? Buy the service manual as soon as you can.
While you're waiting for your manual,, , you may as well source a 1/4" 12 pt "thin walled" socket for the calliper bolts if you don't already have one. Thin walled is optional if you have a bench grinder .
Oh, you'll need Loctite (blue) for just about everything you touch on a HD so have some of that too.
This **** is excellent stuff too. I use it exclusively and have yet to have a bolt come loose or be seized to the point where I could not get it out.

Congrats on your bike and I agree with the others. Get the SM. Brake Parts Cleaner (non-chlorinated) along with the blue thread locker, is another must have.
