So I have been reading posts recently on loose upper mount bolts in the head, Nylon washers between the head and upper mount and installing longer bolts in to the head to remedy the problem of the bolts loosening....
Well I have been wanting to chime in and tell my story of how when I bought my bike both bolts in the upper mount were missing :confused: and how after several episodes of the bolts loosening I installed longer bolts and metal washers between the mount and head to shim it nice and snug... And how after 5000 miles they haven't loosened... :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

BUT. today I felt a little more vibration than normal so I felt the rear upper bolt and mount and could tell it was loose.... No big deal it has been 5000 miles right ... Well this is what i found.


I already checked with Gas and he sold his LAST WEEK:rant: :angry: :bang:
So this is what I need . Anyone Got one they want to get rid of ?? Scratch free would be preferred


Thanks John

I'm going in for surgery tomarrow not a real big deal, they are going to remove a bunch of bone chips. I feel pretty good, just uncomfortable. I talk to doug just about every day, I'll tell him what you are looking for. He doesn't get on much now that he is back to his teaching gig.
