Default Exhaust flange torque

I put a set of regular foot controls on my wifes 08 883C. Until she gets use to riding it. I had to remove the front slip on and loosed the two nuts on the flange at the head. Does anyone have the torque value to retighten?
I could use my Ultra service book but...it may be different

Thanks

96-100 in-lbs, Be sure not to torque it to lbs must be 'in-lbs' hope this helps...

It's also a good idea to re-torque them after the motor has been run a couple of times. They tend to loosen up a bit after a few heat/cool cycles.

Thanks, I prefere to to use a torque wrench. Brought up on a farm and tightening plus a quarter more sometimes doesn't work!
