You really should do those parts up to the specified torque. Too loose and things could....well, it wont be good :eek2 and too tight and you restrict the freedom of movement in the Suspension.

Belly pan looks good too :thumbup:

it was all slackened and the clamp had also to be slackened, that was when my problems started !!

Also my right arm has a built in torque gauge !! :lol: :lol:
Mmm! Kev! Not sure I'd trust your arm with a built in torque wrench on bolts as critical as those! My opinion only though :D
SH#T HAPPENS!!!!!!!!

Oooohhhh! Look what the courier dropped off today! I know what I'm doing tonight! Looks a little weathered but the seal looks good and the adjusters all work.

Refitted the stock rearsets. The Harris ones are a bit hard on my old legs.

Think I will chuck the BT16s back on for a fun blast on the weekend. Looking dry for a change.

Took a blast over to meet Mr Jeff to pick up some free stuff... :thumbup:

Went home the wrong way but nicer as in less A2 & all the traffic...The MacNav kicked in & I soon got on course...just kept the sun behind me & all was well.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
