If we're talking the same piece, it is a tool they send to tighten one of they're bolts.

The single top bolt has to come out, as I recall it is pulled out from the right side. Once loosened it took very little effort to remove it. It is not holding the engine from dropping but I did put a floor jack under it just in case. Any parts that needed to be replaced are included with the kit.
Again, mine is a GT where I had the stock forward mounted pegs moved to mid mounting like the R. I also had the shift kit installed.
My bike is at the tuner getting remapped. Been there a couple of weeks. When I get it back I'll be glad to include more pics.

I do have a question on the bottom bolts, 3 of them on each side, is the size M8x1.25x 25mm? I found an Application Note from Triumph A9758099 for installing DRESSER BAR on OLDER MODEL, RIII, this application note does not refer to our model, but is interesting to see as it documents the size/torque for the bolts . It is a pdf file which I am not allowed to upload:
1 Top Bolt 80Nm (reuse existing bolt!)
2 bottom bolts provided with the kit M8x1.25x25mm 27Nm
1 Top Bolt 80Nm (reuse existing bolt!)
2 bottom bolts provided with the kit M8x1.25x25mm 27Nm

Thank you! Very good pictures! What is the size of the bolts used at the bottom? There is a need of several washers to line up the bars, I am aware of that. How did you install the tops, left and right? I am very afraid of the top bolt, that is on the right side, also on the left side the hooking points are not very clear for me, would you send more pictures? I really appreciate your help!

Top bolt is 1 long bolt. You can take it out without fear of the engine dropping, just make sure you still have the boron bolts in.
The bolts in the bottom are one new one on each side and one of the originals reused. The new ones come with the kit.

The little short piece is to take a 17mm /10mm drive socket so you dont have to take the airbox off It just fits in there and you need a 50 Torks for the right hand side
Take care
