Question Torque Spec front axle nut

Hello Everyone,,,don' t have the service manual for my 09 Ultra yet and I took off my front wheel to get rid of that ugly piece of black rubber front fender rail and was wondering what the torque spec on the front axle is and if there is a torque spec for the brake calipers as well? Thanks in advance!

60-65 ft/lbs for the front wheel. I belive the calipers are in in/lbs I dont have my spec book at home with me. We usually put some blue loc tite on them and tighten them without going crazy.

Yatez004 is right, 60-65 ft lb in the 08 service manual. 09 should be the same.
