Title: Steering stop
Post by: GuzziNZ on March 29, 2020, 02:08:33 PM

Does anyone have a tonti frame laying about that could take a close up picture of the steering head stop just below the bottom bearing ? My 850t one has broken off at sometime and been welded back on by a seagull ! Cheers.

Excellent, thanks Mike. Is it made from about 6mm plate ?
Cheers,
Steve.

I didn't know seagulls could weld.

Learn something new every day.    :grin:

I bend the stop closer to the tube or the stop just shears the aluminum nubs off and then the gas tank won’t hold as much gas.
