anywhere from 60-80 ft-lbs will be good enough. I just impacted mine on there. It's a not a wheel or anything

The stock U-bolts are only tightened to 75, lol

Amazing how far this so called mod has come. Haha! I remember talking with a member on here in 2006 about this. We all did it, then like a year later, someone caught on and everyone did it. Kinda funny. As for the pic above, looks good, but kinda pointless since you really don't see the black part.

My bsp with silver x brace

Nice I like the silver different

Thanks Amarillo - i'm sold now just to find the right shade

Sounds weird but go to a craft store. They have some awesome colors. That is where I had to get mine from. My friend power coated mine orginally and the color was not right. Not bright enough. Then just clear it. Takes a little bit longer but worth it.

 

[skydivedevin]

im thinking gold on my bsp? idk, red is just too common it seems

 

[Baggins44]

I wanted to do something diffrent..... Thought about yellow, but went with a gloss white, And I love it :rockon:
