So this weekend when I fitted my new trax disc and holder, I managed to strip the thread on the swingarm where the hugger attaches.
Managed to sort it with a 10mm bolt and a washer on both sides with a 10mm nut on the back end. Thankfully the bolt was short enough not to foul the sprocket.
Thankfully I had a 10mm stubby spanner to tighten the nut on the back, barely had enough room to get the ring spanner off between the boolt and the sprocket. Only after I finished did I realise that that is what the open end of a spanner is for !!!! D'Oh!
I'll probably retap the thread sometime in the future, unless the next time I ride I discover that the tax disc is loosening.
The mocking may now commence
