[QUOTE=RoK ToniK;16703711]Two Brothers Racing, sounds nasty, so much power, simply badass!




Damn, that looks like one nice pipe. I just ordered a RB Racing LSR for my '18 Fat Boy S but it's at least eight weeks out. This may be one hell of an alternative till my pipe is available. The finish of the pipe and the heat shields look as though they will match the new Satin finish of the new Fat Boy. Are they available as we write this?
Thanks in advance, Rich

I think I will get that grip tape and lock them down again. thanks for the tip!
If the riser manual is in German, then the torque figures are not in ft lb or in lb, but most likely in newton-meters. The conversion ratio is:

1newton meter ("nm") = 0.74 ft lb

So, if the manual for the risers says "X" nm, then the torque required in ft lb = (target in nm) x 0.74

eta - **** - I rotated these in paint... wtf
I have to head out - I will try to re-upload these when I get back.





Lenkerklemmbock are the risers. 40newton meters to mount them to the bike.
25newton meters for the top clamp.
Makes sense?
