Bought some bits and bobs today to drill out the hole.A cheap drill with a hexagonal shank to fit a bit holder and an extra long bit holder.I took off the generator cover and was able to get at the hole.


I drilled about 10mm in and that was as far as I could go.I hit on something and didnt want to force it. I think the inserts are only about 10mm anyway. Ill pick up the kit tomorrow,if I can and see how it goes.

I think it was the sprocket bolt. I read somewhere that the front sprocket bolt coming loose was a common fault on these (J models ?) and a retaining clip was made available. I managed to get one from Zpower,though I dont know if Ill be able to use it with my new offset front sprocket.(when I get one)
Thats how it came to me. There is a piece riveted in and theres nothing leaking so it is all operational. I originaly planned to leave it like that as you dont see it with the cover on but now that Im going for the hydraulic clutch ,itll be more obvious. So im keeping my eye out for a replacement.

Got some stuff today. A nice insert set to fix the buggered threads on the engine. Good German quality.


and a (lesser quality) ratchet tap holder

So I just need to borrow a 90 degree head for my drill and I can get that hole rethreaded.

and thats not all.The posty came and brung me these;






STICKERS!!!!!!! ( I like stickers)





These were my consolation prize for losing out on a lovely Harris pipe on ebay. Apart from my brake hoses,S.S. brake pistons ,seals and chain and sprocket set, these are the only brand new things Ive actually bought for this project. Everything else has been 2nd hand so far.
Im well chuffed with them anyway.

Well I just finished a 2 day welding course. Had a go at a few different types of welding,some easier than others but I enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Confidence has been boosted and hole in frame has been closed. Still got to put a couple of tabs on the frame to fix the seat pan down and thats it for welding. Then itll be paint decision time.

I missed out on an ebay Harris a few weeks ago but Ive got a line on another one. So fingers crossed ! ( Ive just been looking up local ceramic coaters for if I do get it. ) I was thinking of a Norman Hyde replica (the black one) but they are bloody expensive and Ive heard not good things about the build quality.
The shocks are sexy,arent they.Yss do some tasty mono shocks at pretty good prices. Theres a link somewhere above in my thread to the website. You should have a look.

Norman Hyde sent me some exhaust decals for free so I can't knock them and have not heard any horror stories about their work? As soon as I saw your pics of the YSS' I looked on Ebay and they are £174.00 not a bad price, when I had my GSX1400 and fightered it I bought some nice twin shocks from Hagon but I'm sure that they cost more than the YSS? The black and satin do make the YSS look sweet B)

Yeah,Im not a fan of Hagon. I dont like the blue stickers. Did you look at the Ikon shocks,(used to be Koni) theyre also a reasonable price.
