Default Seat Cowl Fitting Instructions?

Introductions first, I`m Dan and I am new to this forum, and new to motorcycling, so the SV is my first "proper" bike.
I have recently purchased a genuine seat cowl and fill plates for my `08 pointy, however there where no fitting instructions with the cowl, it looks very simple to attach, but the question I have is that the two bolts which attach the grab rail currently will be set to a factory torque and i was wondering if anybody knows the torque of these two bolts or even better if any one has a copy of the instructions which came with one of these seat cowls. I am not totally useless with a spanner and screw driver although this post makes out I am, I am just making sure that I do everything correctly. Cheers

I wouldn't worry too much about the torque setting for the grab rail bolts, just make sure they're good and tight.

No need to on mine as the powder coating acts like loctite

Sweet, cheers for the quick replies, thought that a good hand tight would be good enough.
