I am trying to find the torque spec for the rear axle on my 2022 R 18B. Also for the rear brake caliper retaining bolts. Thankyou if anyone has this info.
Mike, note that I removed the stock bagger windshield and ordered one from China that is suppose to be the same as the continental windshield. Then raised it 1 1/4 in more by installing the puckboard pieces I made.
I added a bit of lenght to the wires and applied heat shrink. I did not take much apart. I'm not sure how the wires are routed under the fairing, so was easier to add a bit of lenght.
Not that great of pictures, but I just made triangular pieces out of 1/4 " puckboard, fit them in, and was able to leave the front windshield mounting screws in the original position. I tilted the windshield up a bit more, (gained about 1 & 1/4 in in height), and fasten to the puckboard. For...

Hope that link works. They don't show the signal light remount brackets. I sent them a message on their site (not really a user friendly site in my opinion) and inquired. They...

Note that prices vary on that site. (it appears to be a multi vender site) You also have to choose the correct color. I spent the extra to make sure I got re-position brackets for the front signal lights. some vendors on that site don't offer that. You will have too...
Yes, I am totally impressed with how well they work. I played with blocking the wind with my hands and arms as well prior to adding the lowers. They don't block the air, they deflect it. I believe it is quiet enough around my neck area that I could lite a cigarette at highway speed and smoke it...
Total $400 ca delivered from china and they seem like good quality. A R18b order gets you the signsl light offsets included. But signak light wiring has to be extended.
I installed aftermarket fairing winglets and the lower wind deflectors. I would bet that that lower wind deflectors are a copy of the OEM ones. They really look good and work very well. Small brakets to move the signal lights forward a bit, came with the purchase. I am very happy with the purchase.
For anyone interested, I have installed lower leg wind protection on my 2022 R18B. The stock front directional lights needed to be moved forward as they did contact the leg protectors when the steering was near the limit.
One can buy the lower protectors from AliExpress, China, painted and ready for $400 ca. They say that they provide an offset bracket for the directionals with the purchase. They say nothing to worry about. Guess I'll order them. I'll be smater once I get their package. Will post.
By the way...
