Default 2008 Specs
Anyone know if the belt tension specs and rear axle torque specs are the same for a 2008 bagger as for a 2007 bagger? Gonna help adjust the drive belt on my buddy's '08 Road King after work but I only have the service manual for my '07 EGC for reference. I wondered if the addition of the rubber drive hub on his '08 had changed anything?
