    me too, ACM gets my vote, same size as OEM, torque like like OEM and doesn't rot in the winter salt!

    There is something about Titanium stuff that makes it a shame to actually use it when making it a shiny ornament seems a better idea :D

    I have a chunk of Titanium on my keys that used to be part of the baffle plate in my blades zorst ;)

    titanium is generally torqued the same as steel so in the case of 09+ 112nm

    Awesome. Wasn't sure. Just got a set of the gilles chain adjusters and the nut. Should clean up the rear nicely. Wanna get those lifter hooks. Probably wouldn't use them as I have spools but they look awesome! Hahah
