Used mine many times, more so on Buells.
Easy peasy!

Thanks for that, I have just ordered one! JIMS 1705 Exhaust Stud Drill Plate.
I will need some sort of right-angle drive for my drill because the sheared stud is THAT one! Front head, bottom stud. Even if I have to take the head off it will still make the job easier.

It is indeed a non-serviceable part built into the slider itself. I don't have a clue what it does, but I have actually carefully cut off the crimped bottom of the slider tube to find out what was in there some decades ago 🤣

While I was cleaning out the tubes I noticed the top slider at the very bottom of it there was a spring( not the one shown in the picture I have that one out already) it seems to be part of the slider itself??

It's not showing anything on any of the parts list. Of what it might be.
There is a spring that goes on the damper itself but I have that out.,,, attached is a photo and in the bottom right hand corner I circled the bottom portion of the slider, inside of that is where the spring is and it appears to be built right into the slider itself.

The spring can't come out from the bottom because it's a smaller hole there and it can't come out from the top because there's a little lip there, so it looks like it's built right into the slider tube itself which seems strange to me. if anyone has an idea what this might be you could win a big trivia contest somewhere because nobody seems to have heard of it.

  to repeat, all of the seals and various parts that are listed are out I have them, this part that I'm talking about is not listed and it's on the inside of the tube, I can't think of what the reason is or what it would be doing.

any thoughts






 :scratch:  By your description and the exploded parts diagram you posted I'm thinking your talking about item 26.  :nix:

That is my understanding.  I don't think everyone has access to change it off ignore, but not sure.
