The R&G ones are listed for the later '99+ models, there is a B&G one advertised in Germany for €80,(but no pic)
Or is there a workaround bung model to help protect the fairings? I want the type like on the monster that replaces the long through-bolt so that the weight of the engine is directly onto the track and doesn't destroy levers clipons rearsets and fairings.
Too damn costly dropping it as it is.

Pre 99 models have two short bolts on the front engine mounts that screw directly into the engine and as the engine case castings don't go right across the frame you shouldn't really be drilling them out to fit one long bolt all the way through.
I did make some for Senna3 a few years ago that served him well
Maybe I should have had some fitted last weekend while tyre testing

We (Bionicle, Skids & myself) spent an hour sorting Skids bike out in the cold and wet :( we had to wheel it down behind the cafe and use there hose to clean the mud and stones that ended up inside the fairing, but we managed to sort it, the baffling thing was that the rear belt had jumped a tooth on the cam sprocket, did not sound healthy at all, but Skids sorted that and it was fine on the next start up:)

Cheers I deserved that :o
But in fairness if I hadn't thrown the bike back together they would have been put back on after the fitting of new belts now I have the Cam Timing as I want it, well it was before the crash anyway.:p

I've got the Accossato catalogue here, but they don't list anything for the carby bikes with the two bolts.
However, I'm sure that they would have something suitable if there's enough interest to buy them? Is it worth me speaking with them and getting something sorted out? I think I still have the original M8 bolts kicking around here that can be used for measurements - I drilled my 600 frame out to put the 620 engine in with the single long bolt, so can't use mine as a reference unfortunately!

where are they from then,
Standard 600SS dront engine mounts are M10 X 1.5mm
and about 50mm long, for Kev's I made a pair of Alloy bobbins that would sit in the frame recess and also into the bobbins recess and botled it altogether with a 100mm long Allen bolt and large washer, leaving the crash bobbin free to rotate while having a solid mount from bolt head to the thread in the crankcases.

between Marlow and High Wycombe in Bucks.
Nice bit of road (about 30 miles from Oxford) then from Marlow to Lane end and on to Stokenchurch, Some great roads out that way that we often ride on.

Thanks for the link to the twin bungs, I still like the idea of drilling through though.
I live on that marlow to lane end rd. Every summer weekend there's the rumble of Harleys, Classic Old English, or vintage Vespa's in convoy over the Chiltons and then down onto the Oxford Plain. Or its a good zig zag on back roads from here to Kathy the leather lady at Westcott.

Things have been taking a bit long at Kathy's this year, I don't think sheeven bothered to call Trudi back after she had left a message.
But always worth Zig Zaging across Xmas Common, down Into Watlington then turn right and go past Brancatto Engineering at Charlgrove, then Stadhampton or right then left and across to Benson and on to H-Cafe where a group of us were last Sunday
