I've just installed the Givi crash bars without any major issues. I've noticed that the included instructions don't list torque specs for the engine bracket bolts, or anything else for that matter. Factory service manual calls for 54 ft/lbs. The bolts supplied by Givi look/feel cheap and I'm not confident they could take that much torque. I would like to know from people who have done this mod how much have they tighten those bolts to. I've temporarily set them to 45 ft/lbs and seem plenty tight. Anyone see that being a problem? Should I just find some high quality/stainless steel bolts to replace them with?
Also, regarding the OEM tip over protectors bolts, I wasn't able to find any torque specs in the service manual at all. Anyone know what those figures are?
Any insight is much appreciated. Thank you.
