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

The bikes in a shed at work, I'll have a look at whats involved drilling through the engine mounts to fit a monster one tomorrow.

Are you able to transport the bike up to around the Norwich area ????

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.

I drilled mine out & fitted monster ones

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.

Hmm. It was a while ago, maybe I'm getting confused....
