« on: April 18, 2020, 02:30:10 AM »
Hello,

Can sombody point me out where this goes on the instrument fitting? I can find it on the parts manuel but it is not clear where it goes.
Sorry for asking these stupid questions but I thaught I took enough pictures before dissasembly but itseems I forgot to capture some details.

It secures the head light/indicator frame to the top triple tree. should be 2 of them.

So they are between the plastic casing and the metal plate where te speedo and tacho are mounted on?
The screws fot the indicator frame go from inside to out than? I am a little confiused because the holes in the plastic frame are threaded.

Use the parts diagrams when you get stuck. I do it all the time.

it was not clear to me but I got it. it is for the two bolts that hold al the instruments to the fork.
I wonder why they are not just two normal nuts.
