SW Motech engine Bars - torques values

[texascat]

Hi Gange,
just received today my SW Motech engine bars. Anyone on this forum installed them? Not much as far as instructions, but I think I can do it.
However, the only torque specs provided are in place of OEM setting.
SWMothech recommends 789NM for the 'B' mounting M12 screw; and and 46NM for the 'A' mounting M10 screw (see image).
Before I do any damage, would anyone know if those settings are in line with what BMW recommends?
Any help appreciated...

78 seems high. The torque I use on my Hepco-Becker bars is 40 Nm for the front M10 screw and 48 Nm for the rear M12 screw.

I just looked... the stock torque is 55 Nm according to the torque chart on this site.

Thanks Mark. I have seen the 55nm figure for the M12 somewhere in one of the posts. You seems to confirm that value. The M10 seems also a tad high, so 40NM seems reasonable.

Here are a few pics of the installed bars for those of you considering.... took me a little more time than I expected. Somehow it worked better with the bike on the side stand vs center stand when I had to screw in the lower frame bolts.

Very nice looking, thanks for sharing. I hope you never need them.
