    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It sounds amazing too now that my headers are all welded up. :lol:
 
It alos goes faster now as red is the fastest colour of all.
Big change from doing the paint All Black is a hard thing to do esp. flat paint.
 
Yeah, but I just noticed something I never noticed before... my forward engine mounts have no bolts. Only one hole has one. Its a 12mm head have any idea what the thread and length is so I dont have to pull it and risk the engine shifting
 
Just gives the part #, no specs on the bolt itself. I'm guessing an M8 1x20mm?
 
Hi,

The bolt size is often embedded in the part number. Have a look:

Thanks basscliff and while were at it, can I make my own valve cover gasket with the half moons and all. I'm at the hardware store right now..
 
None of the sites support mobile platforms so I have no idea what size I need!
 
Hi,

If you need the front engine mount bolts, #3 in the parts fiche, the (new) part# is 01500-0816B. That would translate to an 8x16 bolt.

For the valve cover gasket, yes you can make your own. There's a how-to on my website. As for the half-moons, I suppose it's possible but I've never heard of anyone making their own.

EDIT: Oops, I was talking about the valve cover gasket on my bike. It's different on yours. You have a gasket with the half-moons integrated. You'll have to go OEM for yours.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
