I think you can order the masterclips from part411.com (http://www.parts411.com) [ 12-04-2001: Message edited by: Jon T.

Mr Gixxer 11-26-2001, 11:59 PM how many guys safety wire that sucker? [ 12-04-2001: Message edited by: Jon T. Flesh ]</p> asa75 11-27-2001, 12:03 AM How can you safety wire it?

Good way to go if you don't have access to the proper tool. Or reclip the thing in the right direction and safety wire it. http://www.afamusa.com/ [ 12-04-2001: Message edited by: Jon T.

Would this work????? [ 12-04-2001: Message edited by: Jon T.

If you ride it hard especially, off/on throttle alot you NEED to get it riveted davemfox 06-13-2007, 06:35 AM Crikey, that was lucky. First thing I normally do is throw the clip link away as they are notorious for coming off, and get a rivet link fitted. Dave | ||
