These things seem to be pretty popular so I bought a set. Installation seemed pretty easy on the instructions and youtube videos but actually was really hard. I had a friend with me but still we had a hard time.
First of all has the H&B quality gone down. In my set the part that comes between the bars was full on sandblasting sand (inside) so I had to use time and effort to get that off with hoover and compressed air.
When installing it was really hard to hold the nuts because the cap between engine and frame is so narrow. I wouldn`t have got that done all by myself. In the installation manual it is said that these M10 bolts should be tighten to 49Nm torque. We tried that but after 50Nm they were still very loose and easily spinned with a ratchet. After 50Nm you just couldn`t keep the nut with regular spanner (and with open end). So we had to use impact wrench.
So what are your experiences/opinions; did you just tighten them to 50Nm and left there ? Also the bolt going "through the engine" was little bit too long so I had to cut it about 1-2mm to get the end cap fit precisely. It was also mentioned to 50Nm but I put in somewhere around 60Nm and it`s still feels litlle too loose.
