Torque spec for OEM grille bolts
I am swapping my OEM grille from the "standard" 4-slats to the Avantguard one. It looks like it is held on by 8 bolts (or maybe screws). Does anyone have the torque specs for these bolts? I know it is just a grille and you can torque until tight but I am kind of **** and like to do things by the book.
I did do a search but could not find this info posted. Any help would be appreciated.

Hand tighten it until no more, than half a turn. That should do it. If you want more secure, use loctight glue. That is what I used to use on my Yamaha R1, b/c on a bike everything seem to vibrate a lot. Any autozone should carry that type of glue. Just ask them.
