Passenger grab handles torque value

Could someone with a factory Honda VTEC maintenance manual, please tell me the torque spec on the pillion handle mounting bolts?

-Thanks and yes, I know that I am too anal about proper torque specs :-)

25 ft lbs on a 5th gen, same size bolts as a 6th so that should be good! :rolleyes:

Thanks BR, I was going t o tell him ....RFT

My vtec manual is out in the shop and I'm too lazy to wheel out there right now so my number was from the 5th gen. Hard to imagine lower numbers on the 6th gen that uses these as the top mount plate for factory bags, but 16 ft.lbs should work.
Thanks Monk :fing02:

Thanks guys :fing02:

Torque it down 'til it strips then back off 1/4 turn! That should do it!

lol :goofy: yes thatll do...

and yeah you are too anal... lol

the bolt is threading into steel so you dont have to worry too much about over torquing it, as long as you dont have a 5 foot breaker bar or something... lol
