Need front gas tank bolt torque spec. I am adding DK's deflector wings

I have a 2017 tri glide. I am thinking about purchasing DK Customs Cooling Deflector wings. I do not have a shop manual and was wondering if anyone who did, could tell me what the torque spec. is for the two front gas tank bolts that I need to remove to add the deflectors. Also if anyone who has tried theses did they help you with wind buffeting?

Thanks

David

David, 15-20 ft. lbs. torque will do

I ran the cooling wings on my 17 Freewheeler, they helped the buffeting and helped drop the engine temp according to my Power Vision tuner

Same results on my 16 Tri Glide. Awesome addition.

They worked well on my '15 triglide

work good

Got some for my 2020 TG. Buffeting reduced tremendously. Besides buying them for cooling the heads down I knew they would reduce buffeting. Put your hand down where the wings would go and feel the amount of air coming up thru that space. It's a huge flow coming up towards your helmet. After installing the wings, that air flow is virtually non existent.

Torque

My 2020 TG Front Tank Bolt torque is 15-20 FT LBS. The same for the Rear mounting Bolts.

You make it easy with your in house testing of your products

Adding them to your personal bikes is a very good way to advertise

Keep up the good work and adding new products, the world is watching and waiting:clapping:

I'm also glad to hear these wings work so well since I've been planning on getting this for mine as well. My main goal is to get the engine to run cooler but anyone who has long facial hair also knows just how annoying that air blowing nearly straight up at your face can be while riding so thats a definite plus...
