I have a new trac dynamics 4 inch swingarm, the rear axle has 2 nuts and no cotter pin holes in the rear axle.
what does everyone use for the torque specs on the 1 1/2 '' nuts ? and or do you drill a hole in the axle and add cotter pins or use any loc tite. for safety ?

Tighten evenly . @ track they generally use two monkey wrenches. I can not remember the inch socket size but have one in my drawer for customers bikes with trac arms .
No one uses loctite I know of .
 
put 300 miles on bike now, torqued both rear axle nuts evenly to 72 ft pounds checked several times no loosening on the rear axle.
