Is the top flat?like a rivet. Then it looks like the rivets that hold the plaques in place on the top yoke. So the numbered plaques like on a SP or SPS,R,... Henk!!!
Thank you…. I will be getting the correct TB’s…just a pain. slight change of plan as I have now dropped the engine out….forks out. only the rear wheel and shock are connected. The great news is that the swingarm bolt came out no bother whatsoever. made an engine stand from some scrap wood too…
if it’s a one part I can’t say but all race bikes need lock wire to hold whatever in place for safety or sometimes just so the homo’s justify the job they do!!! .....”homos”.....the guys that set the rules and check the bikes!!!!! Just to clarify!!!
Oh! And it also makes sense that they use a rivet to protect the wire, those parts would make short work of lock wire with direct vibration from moving parts! happy to help dude
Some caliper cleaning and stripping….just waiting on new seals to arrive. Pistons were nice and clean
Slow progress really with holidays and some personal stuff…. Lots of cleaning plus, suspension at FTR for a service, bodywork painting started, headstock stripped, calipers back together. waiting for a few bits and then it will be putting it all back together
Ive used FTR for a couple of rear shocks, there unit is set in a very nice bit of countryside with all the horse's.
