Default Rear axle nut torque

Can someone please give me the torque values for the rear axle nut on an E-Glide?

I'm helping a friend out that had a tire go bad & he doesn't have a service manual. The shop that usually services his bike told him there was no torque callout, just tighten it real tight. Sounds hard for me to believe since H-D has TQ values for practically every bolt on their bikes.

Also I need TQ values for the upper & lower shock nuts.

Thanks.

Rear axle cone nut is 95-105 ft. lbs.

Shock bottom is 35-40 ft. lbs.

Shock top is 33-35 ft. lbs.

Default Rear Axle Nut Torque - '02 FXDL

Newbie seeks info:
I am moving my license plate from the rear fender to the rear axle. Can anyone tell me the correct torque to use when putting the nut back on a 2002 Dyna Low Rider FXDL?

So I plan to remove my rear wheel and take to Indy for new tubeless rubber to be installed. Prolly have a new valve stem put in too.

My bike is 2006 UC - review signature. I don't have a service manual. Can someone provide axel nut torque? Any tips for belt tension?

Also want to replace rear brake pads. Anything special there for torque on caliper etc?

Thanks for the help!!!
