Looking at the picture of the plug, it looked like a 14mm unless he has some really small hands...1978 GS 1000 (pods, V&H 4 to 1, Dyna S, Dyna coils, stage 3 jet kit, Progressive springs, relay mod, 530 chain, Honda regulator, clutch basket welded and shimmed)

So its the same as the Save A thread kit. I suggested the highest temp loctite based on an insert that didnt want to play well once. I had to use the swedging tool again AND use the loctite so I could unscrew the plug off the insert. I used the loctite and let it sit all night and it stayed put.
I also suggested using the plug to insert the new insert as the use of the tool as in the directions also cause an extraction before it could ever been able to use the swedging tool in the first place.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

THe RTV seemed to cause enough drag to be able to easily unscrew the sparkplug after I got the insert to the proper depth. After that two solid whacks with the swedging tool and it looked very well staked into place. I'm about to ride into town to get some plumbing stuff from LOWEs so we will see if I have to limp it home again hahaComment
