He said i will not believe the difference this work will make to the bike!!:huh: I will let you know how it goes.
Hey austblue, I know this wont help you now but when i did my sump we layed the bike over and pushed a rag up the sump and then drilled and tapped the sump hole very carefully removed the rag fitted helicoil and sump plug stood the bike up and all was good. Cant help with the ball there is one on the kickstarter but you havent removed that so cant be that one. Hope you find where it lives, good luck.
Good to hear that you all had a great weekend and everyone survived. I worked around the house this weekend but thought of you old bulls out there doing it for the rest of us!! Cant wait for all the ride reports and pics.
