I fitted single wall stainless down pipes to my Laverda many moons ago, and they were blue within hours--nothing to worry about. I think what this guy needs to think about is---is it only running on 3 ?!

they would be turbines then eh, not engines!. I've worked on them, few and far between now, very ineficient compared to modern diesels

Its not getting broken, thats for sure, not by me anyway-I know the costs mount up, I've done it with the laverda, but it could be someones pride and joy--wouldnt take much to get it legal now--hmmm!

The bolt itself does not stop the fork stanchion sliding through the yokes, its down to friction between the stanchion & yoke. If you could grip it enough with a jubliee clip (bit extreme !) it wouldnt move. Not sure where your going with the thread sizes, I work on marine engines with power in excess of 30000 bhp, and our cylinder head studs are very fine thread, certainly not metric or bsw !

If you want to be sure and have your mind at rest go for a grade 8.8 carbon steel bolt, probably get them from screwfix. They will be marked on the bolt head.There isnt really any tensile loading on a fork clamp so a stainless A2 or A4 would probably be ok.

Hi all,
I've just joined this site in the hope that I can find a good home for my 750 k2.
I bought the bike in 1988 when I started restoring another bike of mine(Laverda), and it served me well until Laverda was finished when it started taking a bit of a back seat. Over the years it has slowly but surely ended up feeling sorry for itself in a corner of the garage.
I've allways had big intentions of restoring it myself but with 3 other bikes on the go now, I've come to the realization that it will probably never happen--hence the need for a good home !.
I'll put some more info & pics in the "for sale" section. Any input, (or offers!),would be most welcome.
Cheers,
Neil.
