Not sure which one you need to tighten, but the Trike Service manual Supplement lists these specs.

Steering damper acorn (16–20 ft-lbs

Steering damper bracket to frame screw:FLRT (22–28 ft-lbs)

Steering damper locknut (16–20 ft-lbs)

Steering damper side bracket acorn nuts: FLHTCUTG (120–180 in-lbs)

These also retain the auxiliary/fog/HDI headlamp brackets.

Steering damper side bracket to fork bracket screws: FLRT (20–25 ft-lbs)
