dazco....I calibrate hundreds (not kidding) of torque wrenches a year and would not feel bad about using a beam type torque wrench. I find that they are just about as accurate as the snap-on brands I calibrate here at work.
They might look Low-Tech to many of us, but I find them to be within 5% accurate in almost all cases. Even the higher priced clicker ones are only good for about 3% of scale and I would not use one at the lowest range setting anyway because the accuracy of the first 20% of the scale is not assured.
One recomendation, put the torque wrench in a vise and exercise the range a couple of times before you use it and as some of the others have already said in the threads above...you will probably wind up with at least 2 if not 3 Torque wrenches to be able to comply with all the various torque settings of your bike.
