I guess I'm going to have to look at it again. I even had my friend look at the manual to make sure it was what I saw.

I purchased last year through J&P Cycle Parts a torque adapter for my rear axle nut. Sure beats taking off one muffler each time I check axle nut & adjusting drive belt. A must have for my 08 FLHR.
