Ok I have the bars on and everything fits great. The instructions say to torque the bars pinch bolt to 12 ft/lbs. What do you torque the resevoir bolts to? And my torque wrench is in inches? Whats the conversion? Is it as obvious as 12in to 1ft?
Helibar install ?

http://www.onlinecon....com/torque.htm ****** 12 pound foot = 144 pound inch
8mm = 9 ft lb ********** 9 pound foot = 108 pound inch
8mm = 9 ft lb ********** 9 pound foot = 108 pound inch
12 foot pounds is a good tight with the socket wrench, not cranking on it, but tight. I don`t use a torque wrench for anything under 20 foot pounds.
