Cylinder Head Gaurd Installation Help needed.

[Richard Z]

I purchased a set of CNC Anodized head Gaurds off Ebay. I'm sure everyone has seen them. I'm mechanically inclined so instalation doesn't bother me. Anybody have any torque specs that they could share. Any other tips from Guzzi owners welcomed.

 

Thanks,

Richard:

Search for torque "spec" or "chart". I posted a copy from the manual. I recently installed a set of J. Kenny's and I remember it wasn't a lot of torque. In fact if I hadn't used a torque wrench I would have over tightened them or stripped one. It was about a pinky finger pull of torque.

My first question is, did you buy the head guards for the round head or round fin model? If you did they wont fit a v11 anyway. At least I dont think they will.
