Hi,
Would anyone know where can I get these in the UK? http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/ ... oduct=1481

After seeing these in action, they would be great for lifting the seat without the allen key - handy for fitting the tank bag base when touring :)
Tried looking at Ultimateparts but no luck :/

I've got a similar arrangement on my race bikes - just cut down a bolt and drill it to take the R clip, then a couple of washers.

Like the idea :)
I'll look into it

Have a look at the thread in 'workshop' i was going to do the same, have got some pins on order...not sure how easy drilling into a bolt is going to be freehand??

If anyone has the dimensions of them I can knock them up on my lathe and pillar drill for about £10 a set delivered (UK), PM me if you have sizes or want some

I want a set of these for seat and tank... maybe we can get a group order and a little discount ;)

I'd be interested in a set of those Wayno. The jaws on my lathe wont accept anything that small, which is where your's comes in to it's own.

I could mill you a drilling jig to get the hole in the bar if needed.

I'd be keen on a set as well...

Cool, I'll do some measuring of my seat and tank, anyone got a new set we can measure?

This was what i found if it's any use, it's in the 'Workshop' section, would have liked a set but have already ordered a whole box of hitch pins as i didn't get much responce so may as well do my own...oh hum

I've got an original set on order so I'll use them as a pattern, give me a week to get them delivered and then get the sizes and I'll knock up a dozen sets. They're £13.75 delivered from 123bp so I'll see how cheap I can make them for, it'll definitely be £10 a set delivered maximum, should be less though.

Willopotomas - don't worry about the jig, I think I have a vee block somewhere, if I have problems with the drill wandering I'll give you a shout, but I'm confident I should be ok if I take it steady.
