Looking at the torque guides on that link from RK, it looks like it may just be me putting too much effort into them.
Just thinking about the application, it may well be that they are designed to be both not that tight or strong
If they are bolted tightly to the motorcycle frame, you could bend the frame with a minor spill
Didn't think that they still made crash bars other than for aventure/off road bikes nowadays ?
I have the crash bungs/mushrooms on mine
Mind you there is a much simpler and cheaper solution
Make sure you don't fall off in the first place
