the 07 manuals start saying to replace them, for what ever reason MoCo must of figured out there was an issue that could be corrected by replacing them with new ones. If you get the chrome hardware kit, it comes with a completely different procedure for torquing them down. I am in favor of replacing them because the cost is low, verses the cost if they come loose while you are riding.
If you use a crow's foot to torque them down, remember there is a magnification of the torque when you use the crow's foot. I do not know how to figure the amount, so I would use the lower end torque range, with red loctite.
ask on here someone can tell you how to figure the calculation.

Maybe it is because of where the belt adjuster is or maybe it is because it is a Deuce. I said I would never own an odd duck bike again but then I was blinded by those chrome lowers. I also own an '81 FLT. Now there is a fun bike to find parts for, a 5 speed rubber mounted shovelhead that have the places I've asked about getting NOS parts for it tell me there is no such bike. The FLT was the same in 80 and 81 and then 82 and 83 are the same. Of course 84 the Evolution engine was put into that frame.
