Re: GSXR front end finished
I know the lower one can be done by feel, but I noticed anything less than circa 40Nm just had the bars idly flopping side to side, so I dare say "feel" is probably going to end up having the nut around 40Nm whether people know it or not. Just my thoughts on it!
Out of interest, is the thousand swing arm susceptible to play like the 650?

Re: GSXR front end finished
Oh sorry, forgot to reply to that question. They're R&G and come with that bracket you see on the frame. I have to admit they're marginally annoying in that your shin hits them from time to time (if you've got long legs like me) which can be a bit painful! The bike's not been down (touch wood) but I assume they'd take the brunt, I'm thinking of getting carbon corner covers for the tank as I imagine that would get dented if the bike pivoted on the sliders.
