Hello All,
Just got my RSTD bars and K- grips from Shane this week.
Went over the instructions and printed them out, going to give it a try tomorrow.
My question is are there any torgue regirements when putting the new bars on.
Did'nt see any in the instructions.
Any help appreciated!!!
Thanks
Tim

RSTD bars

Hey Guys,
Installed my bars and Kuryakyn (flame) grips on Sunday morning.
Went off wthout a hitch thanks to Subnuke.
I'm 6'1" and the bars fit perfect, had a problem with my fingers going numb after about 15 minutes on the road.
Took the bike to work this morning ,about a 20 minute ride and man it felt good, no numbness at all.
Thanks again for the help.

Just installed mine.

Hi Tim,
I just installed mine Saturday afternoon. It went very smoothly, except for a little problem with a phillips head screw. Subnuke's instructions were great! My hat (and helmet) is off to him.
I'm just under 5'-9" and the difference is phenomenal. Definitely a good investment.
Good luck with the install!

There are torque specs for

There are torque specs for EVERY nut/bolt/screw on your 1300. If I knew them I'd tell you in a heartbeat, but I don't.
Coming from an 'automotive' side of things, I tightened MINE (when I did that swap), to MY feel of how tight it 'should be' according to bolt size/hardness, etc.
I'm sure someone here will chime in with the exact specs fairly quick tho.
Good luck. You'll LOVE the mod!
