Thread for Fireblade RR-2 head mountings?
the_fbi - 7/8/05 at 04:31 PM

Just finished making my engine stand so I can move the engine about easily but I need to use the 2 threaded holes, one each side of the head, to bolt it securely to the stand.

In one side I'm using one of the long bolts which usually goes on the rear of the engine as the thread fits, but the other long bolt I use to hold that end into the stand, so I'm short a bolt, or preferably 2 nice short ones.

Does anybody know that the factory threads are in an RR-2 for these 2 holes? No bolts I have will fit

I'll stick up a pic in a few mins.

This side is fine, apart from an extra long bolt, as it happens to fit!


This is how the other end is held up, also where the bolt in pic1 came from.


The hole top left of this pic is the one I need a bolt for

As with nearly all motorbike threads, you will find that they are nearly all metric fine series.
I have a metal box full of all various sizes which i obtained from a breakers, find out the size you need and if i have them i can forward them on to you

Thanks Colin, if they are just Metric fine's I'm sure I can find something hanging about, I was looking for more exotic stuff.
