Both Eastons. Left Havocs right 740 Havens (Sorry cant image link from my phone)

Bar on the left- old crashed lots, lockon grips used.

Bar on right. One ride old, same grips used. Went to fit foam superstars and noticed this...

If lockons torqueing crushed these then Eastons 'reinforced' area blurb is bumkum?

Same as I've always done on Haven's on the left. Just enough until it doesnt slip.

Hasnt done me wrong on the heavily used Havocs. If they are that weak that gentle torquing unril they dont spin means they are still fragile I wouldnt want this new wide variation anywhere near my bike.

When we checked the bolts on my existing kit the torque wrench/key showed that I under torque anyway so Im not hamfisted.

hang on... I torqued the bolts properly as I bar swapped in the shop using their kit.

BTW I visually check all kit when swapping/replacing. Its why I only trust me...
