torque specs???
I just assembled my kips in the jug and after a good deal of studying the installation pics and 3 failed attempts I finally got it right and after all was said and done it wasn't too bad.I think I was over thinking it and spooked myself but anyhoo its together and works like a charm on the bench.
So now I'm about to reassemble and had a few questions first what is the head nuts torque specs,second what is the 4 jug nuts torque specs,and third how do you properly torque the jug nuts?I have "crowes feet" are they exceptable to use to torque with?if so. What do the specs change to?I've seen in alldata when I worked for ford that usingcrowes feet were exceptable but they had a seperate torque spec if used.thanks in advance.

No... most people have a sevice manual that has those specs in in it. Those are out in the garage and it is cold out. Or they have them online like what is posted above which they paid for.
I know you want to go cheap but a manual is a must if you want to work on your own bike. It more than pays for itself over and over again.

I don't see crows feet working that great. I'd think clearance might be an issue

You will need the Motion Pro torque wrench extension for the jug nuts.

Don't know how you would get the crows foot on it to begin with and get any kind of torque on it since it wouldn't turn at all...

IMO the torque isn't as important as getting them even. You could be off a few pounds ether way and probably wouldn't have a problem if they are all the same. Heat makes things move. If every thing has the same limits it will move evenly. And I could not agree more with the others, BUY A MANUAL........
