Fitting new Motad - need colletts/collars

<< < (3/3)

Sprunghub:
I'm not sure if it's relevant, or if there is much you can do about it either way, but the Motad I took off my CB750 recently had split around a couple of the flange's where it sits in the recess up against the head.

Can't be the only one in the world to have done it, I'm guessing.

It could be the way it was "encouraged" to fit as it wasn't particularly untidy otherwise.   

matthewmosse:
I would advise caution on 'perswasion' by the way, remember the header pipes use spindly 6mm studs at the head end but a gentle tap can work wonders, particuarly to push the pipes back into the silencer.

Well after much swearing and brute force managed to get the new Motad fitted today, it's not perfect but good enough for now - at least I can ride the bike again !

Was tempted to bid for that original K3 4/4 that came up on eBay the other day, looked in good condition and went for around
