1 inch rise dog bones

[rummy]

What material are the 1 inch eagle mikes dog bones made of steel or aluminum ?

[SLO-KLR]

Aluminum

I was not sure if that was an acceptable replacement for the factory steel . I just installed a pair and was worried about the difference in material . Next question is what does the torque on the 2 bolts need to be ?

According to my shop manual it is 98 N·m (10 kgf·m, 72 ft·lb).

  brioche!
72 ftlbs is correct. 
Rummy, EM has been making those links for many years and he knows his stuff when it comes to metalurgy and machine work.

I like the new stance of the bike after installing the links but I did notice on the highway at 60 and up mph it is very twitchy . I am going to try droping my spring rate to next lower notch and if that doesn't work i will try some progressive springs in the front to help balance out the wieght distribution .

Could it be your tires? Or the air pressure in them? I did install these links about a month ago and didn't experience the symptom you are describing. I like the new height and less sagging.

I will double chrck them because its always possible the steelership didn't go over bike as well as they should have  . But I had no problems before I installed them . I just figured that due to lifting the rear of the bike the rake is decreased plus my 250 pound self is putting more wieght on front also causing a little loss of stabability .

It might be a good idea to get the suspension sag set properly for both front and rear.
