Recently got my OEM rear wheel re-chromed as it was pealing and got new tires & brake pads at the same time. When came time to re-install on bike, thought Id check to see if the new directional tire on front wheel was mounted correctly with brake disks.
Come to notice they looked backwards as per markings on the disks, so I proceeded to swap the disks sides. Wondering what the torque specs for the disk bolts were, I pulled out my service manual and with surprised, noticed on three separate pages of instructions, it specifically says to mount them backward, opposite to the stamping left/right on the disk?!?
This seems to be specific to the 2007 model/year only!
Would like to know any of your thoughts on this, why the 2007 FLH model has this and not the other model /years?
