Flanges weigh more...

Cheers.

I'm going to try the stainless DIN M6 dome nuts without the flange.
Can always bung a washer underneath if needed.

Cheap eBay black clutch lever fitted. Looks to be OK quality and fitted well. All is good, unless it snaps off after a few applications :lol: https://am3pap003files.storage.live.com/y4ms2c0EtzACBLyrBqi1540hT3CAB-7gbJjlgmd014p3uBh__Vfq7EzwFMilfq96PgcKPjNK5IAn3qog6bWPazdDBi_vYo4dZ-KJRcmFFVsT-vupHWP5dq...

That's it all done until I get to ride it, unless anyone can think of anything else worth doing? A cheap cosmetic mod. Buy yourself some stainless dome nuts to hold the mirrors on. You can see them when riding, and the painted ones you have with flaking paint let the view down a bit. Like that idea...

HEL clutch line fitted. Was a spare from my old Hack ZZR11 which blew its gearbox a few years back. Bled fine with my compressor-powered quick bleeder thing. Next job probably a braided rear brake hose. Have also bought a black 'replica' clutch lever on eBay to match the black Z1000SX front brake le...

Don't expect any difference after fitting a braided clutch line. With brakes the line has to stand high pressures without ballooning, but the clutch line simply moves fluid from the master to the slave, so doesn't build up any pressure. Looks better, though. Agreed. Doing it mainly to replace the 2...

Will do Chris

Fitted a radial M/C from a Kawa Z1000SX today, with new Venhill brake lines and fresh fluid. Was going to fit a braided clutch line, but ran out of brake fluid...so that'll be tomorrow's job :) https://am3pap003files.storage.live.com/y4m3nPw35AtEDPFsJ-zrHrCueJGXqZ6yxrd4fo9I_3-tW0IazXZuyjvqJk_-uAAVDv...

At least you can now relax knowing it's not going to be causing a problem later on,

Chris.

Another hour of searching bike and floor (tried behind the fairing panels, ta Chris). Decided to sit back and think what I was doing when it was 'lost'. As I only heard one hit the floor, which was found easily, suddenly remembered I have a habit of putting bolts etc into my pockets whilst dismantli...

The tank fell down as I was wrestling with the fuel pipes, and both collars fell out. Found one on the garage floor, but the other is nowhere to be seen. Checked floor and the nooks and crannies on the bike....will resume the search tomorrow. I found an almost identical collar in my nut, bolts and ...
