Torque spec for STD panhead head bolt?

[barhopper]

57 pan with std heads, james gasket not sure what to torque my head bolt to.

Torque to 65ft/lbs.

I would start at 35ft/lbs, do a criss-cross pattern on each head.  Then 45ft/lbs, 55ft/lbs, and finally 65ft/lbs.  Run the bike for about 10 minutes on the first startup then let it cool off until it's completely cold and retorque to 65ft/lbs.  Then retorque again at 500 miles and finally at 1000 miles.  I've had real good luck using that method.  All retorquing should be done with the motor cold.
