Post by undeadhairy »

well iv brought some crash bobbins for the just incase and the bolts too big but have been told they are for my model of bike.

No, they should be an M6 thread like the bolts that they replace.

Just make sure your bobbins bolts are properly engineered. Good ones, like R&G are designed so the bolt bends on impact. Bad quality ones either snap, so are useless, or rigid so the impact forces are transmitted to the frame with obvious consequences.
Keep on keepin' on.
