Is the torque spec the same with the new kit?

Thanks

Of course, thanks.

I know this is an older thread, but I just want to confirm that the HD kit, part number: 43000213 will fit the earlier HD touring frames/rear fork from 2009 through 2013. The instruction sheet 94100083 still mentions (2014-2019 Touring) for fitment.

Thanks, but I was hoping for at least one more confirmation from someone that the kit works on pre-2014 touring bikes. Plus, post #1 doesn't even make sense to me. The part number mentioned in post #1 (43000207) is just the axle. How did that even work without the new axle cam?

If you look at post #32, it explains that the kit number 43000213 consists of the four parts as shown.
43000207 axle
43000203 cam
8020 cone nut

In post #1 Les was merely speaking about the axle part number 43000207. I also trust Les when he says something fits. He knows what he's doing.

All touring bikes 2009 through 2022 use the same swing arm, part number 47549-09A. Bill posted he had checked 2011 to 2020 are the same swing arm in his post #31. I know they're the same 2009 to 2022 as I looked them up.

     I have a 2011 FLHRC that I installed the 43000213 axle kit in. Yes, it works just fine. If you check out Ronnie's OEM parts finder I think that you'll find that the axle is only available as a kit. I can assure you that the old adjustment cam and the new one do not interchange.

edit: If you don't already own one I'd highly recommend the Jim's tool for holding the axle in place when torqueing the nut. Then, as others have mentioned, don't forget to remove it!

Technically the 43000207 axle is available separate. If you look up anything 2020 above it lists it as those bikes were shipped from the factory with the upgraded assembly.

Obviously anyone with an earlier bike should just get the whole kit.

Just someone might read this and think their 2020 axle isn't available.

Also as has been pointed out in this thread previously the whole kit retails for less than the axle alone.

     Thanks for pointing that out Cheech. The 2020 microfiche is a bit mi$leading as it shows the new axle and individual components (as have been listed) but it does not make mention (that I can see) of the kit. Also, even though the 2009 thru 2019 microfiche's show the rear axle only available as the new kit they still reference the old adjuster cam part number which only works with the old axle.

Installed the 2020 axle in my '10 road king yesterday. Have always had issues with the bike pulling to the left. Never felt confident when i torqued the axle. Went for a short ride today. Much improvement.

Good to hear that it solved a problem that you've had with the early OEM axle.

Ya. Definitely an upgrade. And today I get to install it again. Flat tire. Found a screw in it.
