Just installed my Heli-bar risers in the last hour. No Problem just follow the directions however scant they may be.
I thought it best to take the wire loom completely out...you need all the finger room you can get to deal with the bottom washer/nut combination.
Torque to what :confused: You ain't torquing nothin lest you got help. :( Somebody got to hold that little offset 14mm wrench on that bottom nut while you are cranking the torque wrench.
I just cranked to my best judgement and will get my son over this weekend to redo the main bolts.
It would be a good idea to have a tube of locktite around to put on the bottom nuts. There isn't a lockwasher/nut of any kind to keep vibration from loosening those.
Love the ride with the new risers. I didn't realize how much weight I was placing on the bars. Front end feels very light to the touch now that I'm sitting up straight. :D
Also installed Trimlock foam grips to increase the diameter and softness of the grips...another great item. http://www.grip-tek.com
