what is the torque on the triple tree bolts that hold the fork tubes? I lower my bike by sliding the tubes up but I want to torque them back to factory specs.

if I take the pin out of the kickstand will the spring just fall off? and how hard is it to put back on?

 

Torque for those bolts is 45Nm

 

This is an American legend a ****ing Harley and I get a torque in metric WTF?!?

Haha sorry j/k thanks

 

Get your Service Manual and Parts Manual and you will see a large number of metric fasteners being used as well as torque specs being given in Newton Meters as well as Foot Pounds.

Your American Legend has a lot of metric in in as well as foreign made parts. It's not 1950 anymore.

 

yeah I know maybe I should have bought a victory then.

How much are you raising the front forks in the trees? Curious cause I want to do the same but waiting for someone to tell me how much they affect the steering if any.
