Gday Damage, are you fitting rear sets to the bike..? These bikes are horrible with clip ons and stock pegs, ergonomics are all wrong, stock pegs are too far forward and its as uncomfortable as hell, been there done that, if you are running rearsets then you its a bit better but in all seriousness, these bikes aren't really designed to work with clip ons, thats why the CR race bikes have a very long tank, look at the post classic racers, they all use superbike style bars, which clear the tank..... I'm hearing you, yes have planned all along to have rear sets fitted, and expect a less than comfortable ride. I may have made an error with the bars I've chosen, they are designed for a track bike. I will find it hard to change direction as I'm prone to be a bit "tight".

I'm looking forward to the day I ride it, and that's my motivation. Quote from: calj737 on October 15, 2014, 04:36:57 AM If you want clip-ons and to retain the stock tank, get some that have a rise to them and are adjustable in the "pull back". It should allow you to have the best of all worlds.Thx calj737, unfortunately I already have some clip-ons and they aren't of the adjustable variety. I suppose I could consider resale and update to a adjustable set. That's an option.

That's an option.I like the name of your thread 'Mongrel' ; a 'mongrel' to me is known for having the best mix of interbreeding DNA to make it one of the toughest 'Dogs' out there I like your use of strong steel parts which speaks to me of durability over the long haul
This is when bench synch, then vacuum gauge synch come in to play.
So it appears that the last po to adjust these case bolts, tensioned them with an axe.I can't get a socket or spanner to grip 2 bolts that look like this one. Any ideas on how to get them out? I'm not quite ready to weld a nut onto it. Perhaps a pair of vice grips or locking pliers.

Any ideas on how to get them out? I'm not quite ready to weld a nut onto it. Perhaps a pair of vice grips or locking pliers.I would try vice grips on it first. If that doesn't work, why not just go ahead and use your nut-welding technique? After all, you're not going to want to reuse that bolt anyway. FWIW, you can purchase entire sets of replacement bolts for pretty reasonable prices on eBay. I know that you still have shipping costs to incur with shipping to Australia that we didn't have to consider though.
They're not Phillips, they're JIS. The reason they look grotty is lunkheads before you used Phillips bits on them trying to turn them out and in. If you replace them with SS, use some Antiseize on the threads when screwing SS into aluminum.AlloyBoltz.com has complete kits for about $35 all labeled in separate little baggies for you,
bet there is one bolt still holding it together!!
And the winner is "Kemp".One internal bolt I missed in the manual.2 taps and split.Thx guys for your tips.
