Yep, t'is the picture, the lock washer comes with 2 tabs, if you look you'll see the tab is flush with the nut on the left hand side, the tab on the point (at the top) is the second tab.

No need to apologise where safety is concerned

Took advantage of the sun shining yesterday, so put my replacement rear wheel out in the sun to soften the tyre and thus make it easier to remove.

"New" tyre fitted

Then set about swapping the front tyre, so as to have a matching set.

Front wheel out

All done, discs removed so I can give the front another coat of paint at the same time I paint the rear.

OOh, fancy race tyres!!

And if any one asks, of course I chewed the edges up myself,

Amen to that. I don't think mine lasted the trip down the driveway!!

Super sticky though if you can get them hot enough.

Ive just been catching up with this thread, its been a great read.

Did you find the ZX6 switch gear with the choke fitted easily enough?
Im thinking of using something like this for my YZF 750 street fighter.
