Installed new tire and tube need the torque recomendation for the front wheel bolt
SOURCE: I get a dangerious side to side wobble at 30 - 40 on my 2000 FXST
Springer models have a tendancy to ruin neck bearings. Get the front wheel off the ground and point staight ahead. Now move the handlebars slightly from side to side. If you feel a slight "catch" or if the front wheel stays straight without falling to the side then the neck bearings are shot. They are tapered roller bearings, like a wheel bearing. The outer race will have a depression you can feel with your thumbnail. Pack the new bearings with the grease made for that purpose. A couple of hints: When h-d first made this grease available, I laughed. Use it, it works. It was originally designed for helicopter rotors. To remove the outer races, you may have to weld a bead on the bearing surface. The pre-load adjustment is critical. Too loose and you will get a wobble. Too tight and you get a weave, which is worse. It is normal for a springer front end to fall off to the left even when the wheel is pointed somewhat to the right. This is a pretty big job, so if a shop is going to do it you may want to show this to them and ask if it makes sense to them, but please don't second guess them.

You will pretty much need a tire machine to remove the old tires and put on fresh ones. Torque depends on the model of your bike.
Most front axle nuts are torqued to 65 foot pounds. The same applies to the rear wheel on most models except touring (FLH series) which usually are torqued to 105 foot pounds.

I'd just use the standard torque value appropiate for the bolt size. It should be a grade 8 bolt if it's SAE size or grade10.1 if metric.

I'd put a drop of Loctite 242 (med. strenght blue) on the threads of each bolt and torque them to 25 foot pounds.
Testimonial: "the loctite is something I use always anyways, I was just wondering what to torque em to...thanks!!"
