Would anyone know the torque rating for the steering stem nut on the '78 Honda 550K.  Ron

The large chrome nut on top of the triple or the top bearing race/nut under the triple?

The chrome nut doesn't require super tightening since the nut under the tree is the one that holds the fork on.

Thanks for that.  I didn't take the nut off to look yet and didn't realize there was another one under there.  Ron
