  • Fitting some wunderlich crash bars to the urban gs today.
    I went easy as I read an account on line of a chap over tightening only to see oil leak out as he’d perforated the block I guess.
    Instructions called for loctite, but I hand tightened and used copaslip and after I’ve torqued them up I’ll mark up and keep an eye out ..ok ?
    Acceptable practice ?
