Sorry wrong thread!

Drill bits...or buy predrilled bolts?

 

[boike333]

I’ll have a go at them tonight or tomorrow. I just go straight through the head? I don’t see anyone that sells bike specific pre drilled bolts.

 

[bmart]

If possible, drill the hole in a way that the bolt can't back out at all when the safety wire is on/tight, based on what you're tying it to, which may be the other bolt.

If the cap is a bit hollow/shallow, straight through works. If not, you can go straight through the whole solid cap, or through at an angle, which can be hard without breaking (all of) your drill bits.

Any reason you're doing things like fork bolts?

 

[bmart]

Worth a few minutes fo time, realizing you're not in aviation, and that your goal is to keep the bolt from backing out.

At South this weekend we heard some rumblings about some big controversy with Moto-D. People are saying don't buy from them but I never heard the reasons why. Does anyone have any info about all the hoopla that's going on?

 

[bmart]

I've never gotten along with the guy who owns it, but they've had my rear warmer in for repair for nearly a year now and keep promising it is coming next month...every month.

Is a "rear warmer" the same as a heated seat? And why does someone else own your heated seat? Can't we just stick with heated greeps?

 

[bmart]

Heated greeps are for...nevermind. I'm not allowed to sya that anymore.

 

[bmart]

DId you hear any other detail about Moto-D? I'm starting to lose patience and I haven't been able to reach them on the phone either.

 

[AndyMX47]

They were posting on FB 2 days ago. Maybe try FB messenger

 

[bmart]

Finally got the guy I've been e-mailing with for a year. Apparently, they're still waiting on product.

I have not, and I'm still curious what the heck all the grumbling is about!

It makes sense that the manufacturers would be cutting back on models and reducing production. We are after all in the middle of a motorcycle sales slump and unsold bikes are piling up in dealerships.

Oh wait...

 

[boike333]

Come on R7!

 

[boike333]

For KK! You have to stay SV bound until I pass you one time!

You have until Yamaha releases the R9 to get it done.

 

[boike333]

Hahaha! Wow, no pressure there! ETA on that R9?
