    Well I installed a Kouba lowering link (1") on my 2013-14 TE. Everything went smoothly except I think the instructions were wrong on the torque value (59 ft-lbs) seems way too high. I assumed he meant N-m and did 60 N-m. Am I right or wrong? Also could only push up fork tubes in the triple clamps less than 1/2" due to clearance issues with the fork cap adjusters and the handle bar. I think I could get another 1\2" with a bar riser to give me more clearance. Thoughts? Thanks.

    Here is a chart from back of my service manual... It does appear to be 59 foot pounds/80nm. I checked my notes and appears that's what I used when I removed the rear end to re-lube.

    Just make them tight.

    It's not critical.

    I've just never put 80 N-m on a fastener that size before. I'm comfortable with 60...until it comes off that is...
    Thanks for the feedback guys.
