gary123:
some progress photos.
Are these the correct footrests cos as you can see the mounting bolt is to short and I'm pretty sure its the right one.

Nurse Julie:
Looking good. I'll take a photo of my foot pegs if it helps. Did you fit new Viton O rings in the carbs?
The engine bolt should definitely stick out further than that through the foot peg, as you need to get a nut and washer on yet.
mickwinf:
i reckon the bolt may be off a 550 f1/f2 as the footrest on those mounts slightly differently. The correct one is threaded at both ends with separate nuts and is a bit longer.
Nurse Julie:
Here you go.

Oddjob:
I'd buy new float bowl screws, they appear too short and they are meant to be JIS screws with a split washer underneath so they don't vibrate loose.
The carbs also need bench setting, they appear massively out of balance looking at the adjuster screws.
