Graphogen on all new surfaces that are going to touch each other, a drop of oil on everything else, except underneath the shells, you fit these dry.

The side stand doesn't have any stop on the exhaust, it just butts up against the metal of the frame.The Delkevic comes with its own rubber block for the side stand, the OEM rubber one won't fit.

That's strange that the fitting was awkward Ted. We fitted a set of the Delkevic 2 weeks ago to a customer's bike and they fell on with no problem at all. The chaps on the USA forum that have bought them also had no issues fitting them. As with all 4 into 4 systems though, even OEM, they never just fall into place without a little bit of a jiggle.

Also, PM me over your email address and I'll send you some photos. 10

I've got keyless fitted to Millie, my 550 Mongrel. Graham made up the wiring and fitted a hidden master isolater switch and one of the handlebar switch gear slide switches as another isolater and the original start button starts the bike.

It depends which gasket set you use as to the size O rings you will need. All the kits have different depth head gaskets.

Be careful to not bend the plate as it leaves a line in the metal. |
