    My job is calibrating torque wrenches for aircraft industry. I recommend Norbar wrenches. A good buy is Tti50.

    I have a Street Twin.

    All metric !! And one other thing. Most torque settings are for non-lubricated threads. If you use a thread lubricant or anti-seize compound, the torque settings are different. The bolts could be over-tightened and possibly damage the threads.

    Naked & torque to spec. Then re-check critical fasteners every once in awhile. Oil drain bolt, brake caliper bolts, etc.
