Hello All,
I have a few questions regarding a pair of '71 CL450 fork casings ... would any know why the pair would have different diameter oil lock bolt at the bottom of the casing? One is 8mm and the other is smaller (not sure what size, but suspect 6mm) ... see photo ... I'm going to try and "carefully" drill the smaller hole.
There are different markings stamped on the casings, though I don't know what they mean; on is marked 4G and the other X6
Last question ... is there any reason that this (see picture) 47mm circlip won't work vs the OEM spec? The one I have is from a CB200T ... seems to fit, though shape is a little different ... the pipes do seem to clear the "rounded" ends of these circlips. I've been waiting months for the spec'd clips to arrive via David Silver spares ...
Spec'd part for CL450
The one I have originally for the CB200T
As always ... thanks for the advice gang ... hope everyone is staying well! Bill
