Thanks Dave, I had previously torqued the axle nut to 68 ft.lbs on my 2014 CB 1100 Deluxe, as I had earlier read in the forum that it was either 68 or 85 ft. lbs, but wasn't sure which torque was for which axle as there seems to be two differant axles for these CB 1100's. Per Ferrets response, I re-torqued the axle nut to 65 ft. lbs. I'm assuming that 3 ft.lbs over didn't do any damage since I didn't ride the bike. So I think were good. Thanks again!
