MotoTechniques bar riser question.

Post by Paul »

I placed an order and i'll have them probably mid next week and i was wondering if there is a torque specification for the screws.
What did you guys do?
Just tighten and maybe some Loctite?

Installing my bar risers last week is how I discovered that my torque wrench is a P.O.S. that didn't work, so I basically tightened them down until I had to use more force than I though was a good idea. I know that's a subjective standard, but I think as long as they're tight and are rechecked, you won't have any problems.

...and if anyone can recommend a good torque wrench for our bikes, I'm in the market. The "Genius" one I had is junk.

Thanks, that's what i did.
I tightened the screws without breaking them :mrgreen:

The riding positions is much better, my right hand and arm are no longer sore after a ride.
