I've gotta believe it is out there somewhere ... but I have searched quite a while and I still can't find it.  Can you gents direct me to the "Holy Grail of Airhead Torque Charts?"  I am looking for a place where I can quickly get the commonly used values for the various bikes in the stable ('85 R-80, '83 R-65LS, '64 R-50).
Thanks,
Dan

In the Haynes books they are by chapter. Don't think I've ever seen a complete list.

Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.

Thanks Richard.  I think I just need to create my own list as I look them up :).  Not really a big deal, just didn't want to reinvent the wheel.

BTW, if anyone has a 1978 R100/7, here is a great chart edited by an ABC member back in 2009.

I just acquired a 1978 R100/7, this chart is much appreciated!  My /7 needs LOTS of TLC, so it will be a complete frame up restoration and this is a great thing to have in my binder!

 

Thanks -Kevin in Portland OR

@wobbly Be careful with the Haynes/ Clymer manuals....not always accurate  torque values! Blindly went to the manual when reinstalling the upper triple tree, cost me !
