Theyve certainly helped with the riding position though Im a little concerned how easily they will slip despite being bolted up tight. Its the vertical section with a tapered boss that fits into the clamp on the stanchion. I would have thought that a serrated mounting like on the footpegs would have been safer.Ive nipped them up tighter than I would normally do for a 10mm bolt into alloy but theres still a tendency for them to move when you put any weight on them, such as when rolling the bike off its stand
Im awaiting a response from the supplier re maximum torque for the bolt etc but wondered whether anyone else had come across this problem. My first thought was to smear a little grinding paste on the taper to encourage them to grip. Initial impressions are not particularly favourable so, which is a pity.
As an aside, fitting them has prompted a redesign of the brake hose layout, which I wasnt happy with anyway. Due to the speedo there is insufficient room for the hydraulic brake switch and two hoses on the end of the master cylinder. Im rejigging the set-up so that there is a single hose running to an adapter Ive made to fit under the bottom yoke to split the lines to both calipers and fit the switch. Im just awaiting the necessary hose bits to arrive from Venhill and I'll be able to make up the hoses to the correct length and finish the job.

Seems a strange thing for an engineering company. I shall be going back into the workshop later to apply some more 'umpty' - with the gracious approval of the supplier who is also interested in the result
