Bandit "Bruiser" clutch install question

[Moespeeds]

Hey guys I'm putting a Bandit Bruiser clutch in an 06 Mastiff and I have a question. Is there a torque value for the pressure plate/spring retainer bolts or are they just bottomed out? It would seem to me they need to be bottomed but I can't be sure. I have no directions, the clutch was bought used, and there are no directions listed on Bandit's website that I could see. The bruiser is different than the standard Big Twin basket so those directions do not apply.

If you have the Bandit model with four spring cups (not six) the torque for the shoulder bolts is 25 ft lbs with red loctite (according to the bandit instructions). Also, you may have shims (look like thin washers) under the shoulder bolts that sit in the bottom of the spring cups and under the spring. Make sure each cup has the same number and thickness of shims. This determines the amount of clutch spring pressure. Too little pressure and the clutch slips. I use 1 thick and 1 thin shim per cup and my clutch holds fine. If you didn't get extra shims from the previous owner, you can contact Bandit Machine Works and have them send you a set along with instructions for the Bruiser set-up.
