I think my bike has just standard m8 bolts in the yokes - something I should check I wonder? there are i think special washers that have a slight flat on one edge.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Never worked out why Honda changed the top yoke bolts from 8 down to 7mm, 750F1's had 7mm top yoke bolts, and I lost one doing a rebuild back in the late 80's, the price for one then was absurd, so I ran an 8mm drill through it and used an 8mm nut and bolt, problem solved, no problems caused, and it would take a real anorak to spot it! :-X

Its a good idea to keep everything you remove from bikes just in case you need them at a later date. Oddjob let me know price on switch for rh side, my starter button is us
