I have a list of Guzzi torque specs on my website that John Schwartz
sent to me. It's not loop frame specific, but it gives Guzzi's
recommended values for many fasteners that can be applied directly to
loops. Also, if you stare at it long enough, you will see patterns
emmerge for various sized fasteners (especially for ones that thread
into alluminum).

Just for grins this page should give you a general idea of torque specs
for various bolts. Application is also a concern, as you wouldn't want
to really torque down a bolt threaded into aluminum

Now that I'm pretty much done with replacing all my nuts and bolts with
shiney stainless, I'll ask this question. Are there any specific
fasteners I should have used the torque wrench to install? I didn't
overtighten anything, but just in case. Intake manifolds, etc?
