Hi all, just did the genmar bar riser blocks on my 13, operation went well enough, just torqued everything down & buttoned it up, but i noticed the bars move slightly now????? genmar recommends 30ftlb on the larger mounting bolts & 12ftlbs on the smaller ones, using my craftsman tq wrench i set them to that spec. factory says 47ftlbs & 17ftlbs on the oem parts, not sure if i should snug these genmars down more, has anyone run into this or have any suggestions? thanks in advance!

Tight, tight, tight!!! They're just bolts, right? This is not the place to be timid with a torque wrench. Put that silly thing away and tighten the carp out of them. I put Genmars on my bike in 2008 and never had loose bars from '08 to '17. The Genmars got moved over to the Helibars top plate and still they are not loose.
