It seems the allen head bolts closest to the cylinders on the lifter blocks are a bit tricky to get to. What's my best bet for getting these properly torqued when putting it back together?

 

Use a long ball end.

 

Yeah I figured ball end was gonna be about it. Wasn't sure if there was something fancy that would make life real easy and even be able to get a torque wrench on.

 

You can get a torque wrench on the long 3/8" drive:

Thanks for that link. I may just have to grab a set of those. Anybody know if they are decent quality? I know they're cheap, I just don't want them to fall apart the first time I use them.

 

Seem to be just as good as any others I've used. And I believe they carry a lifetime warranty too. I use mine all the time, in fact used them when I did the inner fairing swap.

 

I have a set and the only problem I have had is with the set screw allowing the hex portion to come loose from the socket portion on a couple of them. Just put them back together and tighten the set screw and no more problems.

 

Be careful..that link is to a metric set....

 

I noticed that, but they have SAE available also. On a related note, anyone have experience with Harbor Freight ratcheting box end wrenches?

 

Nice set to have around the shop.
