I volunteered my services to help a guy out, and I need a little help from you guys.  1st off, don’t have a service manual to his bike (’03 Sportster 1200 Custom) and we’re only replacing Rocker Box Gaskets.  Doing something this simple, I don't want him to spend the $'s for a manual yet.  My background, I've never worked on a Sportster, but have done major work on Pan, Shovels, Evo & Twin Cams.

I’ve reviewed the exploded diagram from Ronnie’s HD site of the rocker box assembly and they look very similar to Big Twin Evo (still have my ’91 BT Service Manual).   Could someone confirm if these bolt torque specs are correct for the Sportster.
5/16”  15-18 ft-lbs
¼”   10-13 ft-lbs
Top Cover Screws   10-13 ft-lbs
All bolts to be tighten in a crisscross pattern.

Thanks Guys!
