F: Frame FT123 on both engine plates?

[Bobv07662]

On the engine plates (FT23) my bike only has a FT123 (pin) installed in the right plate. Is this correct? The spare parts shows it this way. Just checking before using the front stand to hold the bike up for some engine maintenance. It seems like a large force for only one pin. By the way, FT123 isn't listed in the spare parts list so I hope calling it a pin is the proper term.
Thanks and Happy and better New Year to all.

Yes Bob , Can you get into the spares Company web site ,
That can tell you a lot.
I have not used the plates like that for years , But I think it's just to stop the whole lot rotating ?,
When used to hold the front end in the air ?,
The pin on the other plate is to hold the spring ?.

Thank you Bill...I went and had another look and the "missing" pin in the LH plate is the the bolt 843 that I had left on the bench. Whoo hoo!

The Spring peg In the left plate is FT 41/2.
