Just look it up on a torque chart, take account of friction coefficient if lubed or not lubed:

If they are the early Ceriani yokes, I'd be a little cautious.  Not unknown for them to crack when fully tightened.  Instead of "fuckin' tight", simply "tight" will do nicely!

Standard torque for M10 bolts is around 40Nm.

Fuckin tight is 3 beads of sweat, tight is 2 beads of sweat.

So would I.   
I managed to snap the centre bolt on the upper Ceriani yoke on my 3C in the first year of ownership.
I didn't think I'd tightened it all that much before the bolt sheared.
Previous Meriden Triumph ownership may have played a role. 
Things needed to be extra tight on those, or they tended to disappear in transit.
