Going to be installing a life kit today on my '13. Need to tighten my belt. Anyone know off the top of there head what to torque the bolts down too? I tried a search here on belt maintenance but guess i am not getting the right "KEY WORDS"... Thanks!
 
Jam nut 15-25 ft-lbs

Pinch block bolts 41-45 ft-lbs

Lug nuts 90-100 ft-lbs

This is out of a 2014 service manual should be the same for a 13?

I highly recommend you buy the service manual and trike supplement. FWIW when I installed the lift kit from http://www.tglidestuff.com/ on both my dads 09 and my 10 Triglide I didn't have to make any belt adjustments. One thing I can say for Harley is the belts are pretty stout, I've yet to tighten a belt due to stretch.

When you reinstall the back tires and torque the lug nuts make sure you check them again within 500 miles, there have been Triglides which have had a rear tire come off due to lug nuts coming loose after a service. I take things a step farther and check them at 100 miles, 500 miles and even past the 500 mile mark. It only takes a couple minutes to assure you and your passengers safety.
