it was an easy decision to be honest... the one I loved least was the 996 engine bike... so I advertised it and it went after 2 days!

Wow that was easy :thumbup:

I'm not surprised though it sold quickly, they knew what they were getting, a well sorted bike 8)

back working on the remaining orange bike..… one of the problems I had was I couldn’t get to the nuts that held the tank on… not with a spanner, or a socket… but I could get an Allen key up there… but how to make an Allen nut? well I made a couple of nuts out of brass, and made a broach out of an old Allen key by grinding in some steps to take it from round to hex in steps… when it was forced through (big hammer!) as you can see it worked well!

I never knew that tool was called a broach.

A good idea with the limited access, nice work :thumbup:

If you counter drill from beneath you can glue in a magnet so they will be retained by the Allen key after they're undone.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
