You should be okay. If the handlebars turn left and right without resistance and there is no slop in the steering stem.
Good to hear the bike is okay. Much less than 60 ft pounds and the bike is sloppy. Much more than 80ft pounds and the bike is stiff.
If the light isn't on it is not draining the battery. Be sure the water in the battery covers the plates in each battery cell. Bike battery life is usually about two years. After that they start accepting less ans less of a charge. The older battery also begins to hold a charge for less time.
Bike electrics are not my specialty. I would hate to advise you incorrectly. My understanding is that there should be 14 to 14.5 volts at the battery with the bike at 1000 rpm.

Dealer advised me just to make sure I torqued it back to 60-80ft pounds
Thank you for your help
It handles amazing now , feels like any lean with my body makes the bike lean so responsive now
Thanks so much again for the replys. One more thing if it is ok to ask I was going to head to work today when I discovered the bike wouldn't turn over. Now you know how there are two toggles on a heritage on that turns on the auxiliary lights and one that turns on the headlight but only when the bike is running. Well if you left the headlight toggle on even though the bike is off and the lights not on. Over a period of time would this discharge the battery ?
Thank you kindly
That charging problem I was mentioning. I'm only getting 12.5 volts at the battery with it running I put a new regulator in and no difference. The stator is getting 14-16 ac volts just idling and going higher with revs. But no voltage higher than 12.7 on the battery with revs could it be I didn't let the new battery charge after putting in the acid or is it something else thanks
