Similar situation with the head nuts on Ducati motors and what I've been told is: If you increase length on the lever arm/torque wrench with an extension you have to correct for that. But, if you mount the extension at a 90 degree angle to the torque wrench no correction is needed because you have not increased the length at which you are applying torque. I haven't actually tested it with a scale, but I know that's the way it's commonly done on the Ducs and it's the way I do it on my GG. I ground down a 13mm box end and welded a socket to one end so it would mount at 90 degrees.
