I thought it might be nice to have a torque spec thread (but without breaking any copyright laws
)
So, could some kind soul please provide the torque specs for the bolts indicated? Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the SW crash bars. I used some black enamel on a couple washers and the bare engine surface where that washer used to be, but it's a nice product.

They are pretty straight forward on the specs. It all depends on the size of the bolt, not the location.
My guess would put that at either a 10mm hex or 12mm hex.
10mm Hex bolt and nut is 25 ft lbs
12mm Hex bolt and nut is 40 ft lbs.
10mm Flange bolt and nut is 29 ft lbs.

I installed SW-mo tech. I tried 40 ft/lbs for the 1st of the 4 front 10mm flange and it got stripped easily. So i did a 29 ft/lbs as recommended by another member. I picked up a genuine replacement for the 1 flange bolt and 1 nut for around 9$ from my local Honda dealer. In my own opinion anything more than 35 ft/lbs will cause damage.
