Clearance issues!

Once the clock mount was on the yokes could finally hold the new bars for the bike. However with a bigger master cylinder off of a Hayabusa there was an issue with clearance.
With the bars central and the throttle grip flush with the end of the bar the master cylinder banjo bolt was fouling the top yoke.
I decided to cure this with extra spacers or risers, I went to a friends workshop in Swanley (Steven Fellows Engineering) There I used his lathe to produce four ally spacers all around 20mm high which is more than enough. These were made to be within a +- 0.1mm tolerance.
Another job that required the lathe was the top nut. The original was in poor shape so a replacement was bought however it didnt have enough clearance to tighten down it would bottom out because it is a domed nut. This was put into a lathe and skimmed along the top until the hole was big enough for the screw to come all the way through the nut. I prefer the aesthetics of this to a domed nut, it looks alot more industrial and custom.

I will explain all the dust in the next post!!!
