[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1238003, member: 21394"] When working on your own bike, it's your choice. A commercial shop doing this would be using a torque wrench for liability avoidance. Considering the critical nature of the steering components, I would want to document it was done right in case the customer had an issue and wanted to get rich on my alleged negligence. I just did the maintenance using a spanner wrench, and the torque values worked pretty good. I have done it by "feel" on other bikes in the past. Before starting I was surprised to find my steering head nut that is supposed to be at 85 ft-lbs was not even finger tight. [/QUOTE]
