Thanks

Thats a little less than tha suzuki manual at 67.5

My instructions for the bungs came with Tourque settings. Seem to recall it was very low at 40nm-but wouldn't swear to it and the instructions are in the garage & it's far too cold & early to go out there yet

just make sure you use loctites blue threadlocker. The vibrations will undo a nylock no problem

I have R&Gs on my fully faired K6.

Havent tested them yet and dont intend to.

Different bolts - The engine bolt torques aren't quoted by R&G - they only mention the bung bolts which they say no more than 40NM

FYI: R&G sell a can protector too.

r&g's are the best! worked wonders on my XJR! (my boss dropped it)

Suzuki ones are crap! they dont work!

They sell two now- the big one for the front, and another for the rear. I use an exhaust strap from Halfords and 3 jubilee clips one track, but the R&G one looks better

Motosliders are perfect. Some jack@ss knocked my bike over in the driveway early one morning. The sliders are scuffed and the break pedal was a little bent, but there wasn't a mark anywhere else.
