I’ve just had my crash protectors delivered, and the fitting instructions say to tighten to the manufacturers reccomended setting. I don’t have a Haines manual and I’d like to get these fitted tonight, so I don’t suppose anyone would know what the correct setting is?
If the bolt is going into steel, yes … but, if it’s bolting into aluminium, just a good hand tight bolt is probably best. Having said that, it’s always difficult to make a recommendation like this as one person’s " hand tight " may be different to another’s. After working on bikes for a few years, you just get a feel for these things.
