Installing woodcraft clip ons on my N300

I'm installing woodcraft clip ons on my N300.

So far so good. I took out the stock bars and measure how to fit the new ones. Clearance is pretty tight. The clip ons bring the bars not only down but also forward.

I set the clamps 5mm below the top triple and ajust the levers angle so they barely made it by the windscreen on full lock. If I need to go lower than that, I'll have to grind the plastics here and there.
I pushed the bars all the way so the inner end is coming out about half an inch. So it's the tightest and narrowest. Will see how it feels.
I rotated the clip ons all the way to the back until they topped against the triple clamp.
I rotated the brake line inwards about 60 deg to avoid touching the cluster. I loosened the banjo just a bit, rotated the connection and tightened again to torque. I didn't get any spill and so far it looks like it didn't get any air inside. Brake lever feels solid.

Everything looks fine.
I'll drill the bars for the electric switches holder pins and torque everything.

The instructions says to torque the clip ons bolts to 'industry standards'. Does anyone know what torque this is?

First picture shows a WC clip on on the left and a stock one on the right.
