Had to resort to an angle grinder to undo the head stem nut.
Heat failed. Soaking with nut loosener failed.
BF Spanners only succeeded in rotating the top and bottom
yokes out of line by 180 degrees and also the steering head lock engagement hole.
Has to be partly removed anyway to remove the lower bearing.
Even then had to unwind the nut with a cold chisel. The locknut would not let go either.
Removing seatlock from subframe in preparation for powdercoating.
Two of the clips that help hold the sidecovers on are on the point of
breaking off due to having been bent and straightened several times.
I am thinking of cutting all four off and attaching the sidecovers by different
means. I am not greatly impressed by the original rubberband system anyway.
I don't mind undoing a couple of screws at least they will be secure.
Has anyone done a modification along these lines??
