Thanks for the quick reply.

I think the correct spec of 22 -/+ 2 Nm is on page 258 of the repair manual, but was seeking validation before executing because I keep being given different values....thanks again for the information.

you are right, I gave you the torque for the steering block to upper fork bridge bolts - sorry

Should have indicated I did not find the manual till after posting the orig question, but got the PDF of the BMW service manual a little after posting the question and believe that's the correct source with values. As I become more familiar with a couple of forum's contents I am finding more answers that validate other answers.

I had three different values given but in looking at the exploded parts diagram I think two of them misidentified the  handlebar clamp bolt's for other close bolts, and one of the tables I was sent had a matrix of thee values for torque by bolt size with the key in German.

I trust the manual I have found but have zero motorcycle mechanical experience and so will probably continue to validate my understanding of the procedures before I inadvertently screw something.

Thanks for the input....

I have a C with the lower bars and I do not like the riding position.  The bars are too low and feel too narrow.  I think I will start with some cheap risers/bar backs (Rox-style) and go from there.  I find it amusing how many people like the C bars over the taller bars.
The shortys just put too much pain in my neck and between my shoulders.
