They send a sheet with some torque specs down at the bottom, but you have to know exactly what size bolt you have and although I was pretty sure about it, I caved and gave them a call ref the torque specs. They said:

The 12mm 12pt caliper bolt torque spec is 36 ft lbs.

The #6 metric Allen head pad bolts is 10.7 ft lb or 128 in lbs.

When my Snap On wrenches clicked, it felt right. I used silver anti-seize on the threads of all bolts.

Those are HD chromed lowers. I have my stock lowers in a box in the garage.

Been real happy with the quality of the chrome and they have held up nicely for nearly 3 years now. I kept the stock lowers on one of my other harleys, but man it was a chore to keep them looking nice...and really a losing proposition because eventually they are going to stain with all the bug guts and stuff. So these days I generally pony-up for the chromed lower.
