That's a good start!

Decided tonight I'd do the 'stopper mod', did the. Rear cylinder no probs ( apart from cutting the tip of my finger off with the locking tool )
Got the front cct out and the roll pin will not come out! So hopefully tommorrow after I've drilled it out and got hold of a new one we should be good to go!:)

I used a 2mm drill to knock mine out. Turned upside down so the hammer was hitting the flutes.

Not sure how you managed that with the locking tool! Hopefully not too bad mate

I was using a 2mm punch, the first one came out fine but the second one wouldn't budge, and drilling it out is my only option, have to pop to work and pick up another pin in the morning!
Oh and the locking key was a home made jobbie that I didn't debur properly, lack of tip of finger probably didn't help me trying to hold the punch for the second one!

On a lighter note I put the vfr bars on no problem before I started the CCTs!

ond down one to go
is the key ok
every time i work on the bike i cut my hands to shreds
it also don't help dragging my knuckles behind me when i walk

[Benno_0214]

Haha! Yeah the key works fine, just a bit sharp!
Thought I'd had it nailed..... Nothing's straight forward tho is it!

Will feel better when it's done!

You could try knocking the roll pin out with a small rivet with the end that inserts inside a rivet gun. You are probably best to put the cct in a vice if you have one, and then you have two hands free. One for the hammer and one for the rivet or what ever else you use. The pin will be a tight fit and you have to hit it square on. It will be just as tight to re-fit. I found some adjustable grips where good for this, and squeezing the pin back in place.

He used a 2mm punch which is the best thing for the job.

A punch has a square end that will put all the force on the end of the roll pin and it's harder. I used a 2mm drill for that reason and it worked fine - seemed soild to begin with but once it moved it slipped out easily.

I used adjustable grips to put them back in

I'm cheap, me.
I used an old pop rivet stem.
Got loads of those laying around under the workbench, from rebuilding cans.
