Vinny,

Not sure of the pin diameter, but lifting off the cam cover is all that's required for a quick peek. I'd imagine it's only 2 or 2.5 mm but someone here on the forum might know for sure.

I'll check on my 81 1100E right now. Maybe it's the same.

It looks like a 3mm, but it isn't easy to measure while on the bike. Could have been 2.5...

I can check later tonight on my 821100e. I can measure them with my calipers.

Thanks evryone. You guys are the BEST! The only pin sizes they show(dennis kirk ) are 2, 3, & 4 mm. didnt see any half sizes . Looks like a pretty cool tool though for breaking & riviting back together.Gotta love cool tools 8)

Sorry for the delay,

Loooks like the pin is 0.119 inch or 3 mm.

The od of the part the pin slides thru is 0.18 or about 4.57 mm
