    Hi All,
    Trying to find the torque setting for my 2012 Blade top yoke nut. I have seen on other forums the figure of 103nm and another which states 137nm.
    Can anyone give the correct one please

    Cheers Dave

    Diff Yoke/Triple Clamp on the Showa BPF Forks fitted to MY12+ Bikes hence the confusion.

    137 NM it is.

    Is that nut not made out of aluminium? Was looking at these from Probolt,137nm seems quite a lot for an aluminium nut?

    Hi Guys, thanks for all the info. I have just bought from America a set of risers which look great and are half the price of the Gillies.

    Hi I saw these on the net, sent a few mails and got details. I ordered and received in a few weeks. They are very adjustable in every direction, angle, height (I bought the 3" riser) and position and best of all they are about half the price of the Gilliies. Nicely made and anodised. I am in the process of fitting and if you are interested I will post a photo. Don't worry that they are in the USA, the company is very good at responding and giving full info.

    If you can post some pics that would be great. I had a set of apex fitted to my last bike and considering fitting them to my blade, so pics would be great and knowing about brake pipes and cables would help.

    Thanks
