I just picked up and installed my lowers today. I'll have to test them out tomorrow. I agree with Glen about the leg thing. I have my pegs high on the crash bar, and that is what I would do on cold days. Question. According to instructions, it says to tighten bottom bolt to 142 ft lbs of torque. Can this be right? Seems awfully hight to me. I was afraid of cracking something or sending the bolt right through the fairing.

 

Damn, that right there is funny! Unfortunately, it is also oh so true...

 

Which bolt are you reffering to @ 142 ft. lbs?

I went with the Memphis Shades 7" and it works well. It is a straight windshield. Also have the adjustable fairing vents and they help a bunch.

 

The bottom bolt that goes through the fairing, then through the clamp on the bottom of crash bar.

 

i just looked in the service manual & that bolt says to tighten to 90-100 in lb.

 

Well, I believe I stopped at 125. The top 2 said 70 lbs. Think I stopped at 50.

 

Instructions show 144 in lbs. on lower clamp.

 

Close enough. I'm in the house, the instructions are in the garage. Still high!! I know I'm probably of a few lbs with the top #'s but again still seems high.

 

Make sure you are using in. lbs and NOT ft. lbs. Big difference.

wow thats funny the 2011 service manual has different torque values than the installation instructions for the lowers.
