Default Torque Spec?

I am wondering if anyone can help me out?

I am in the process of installing my new Carlini apes on my 2011 Road King. I have to replace the clutch cable with a longer cable. I removed the cover on my transmission to remove the existing clutch cable and install the new cable.

What I need to know is if anyone can give me the torque spec for the bolts that hold the cover on.

"I know, I know, buy the manual!" I plan to, I just haven't got around to it yet.

Thanks..

btw side door fastener spec has been changed to 23 ft pounds.

locktite too.

the 2 lower bolts that hold the exhaust bracket have been backing off, hence the new spec
