[QUOTE="rapcom, post: 15493, member: 191"] I have noticed a small oddity on Drawings MO63 and MO107 which is puzzling me, and wonder if anyone can explain it for me. At the top of the fork blades are two pad bolts FF43 and FF43/1, which lock the upper front fork spindle FF14. Both are still listed by our esteemed suppliers. The Parts List says that FF43 is a Pad Bolt -Short, and FF43/1 is a Pad Bolt-Long, and the MO drawings show that the left (short) one is inserted with the thread to the rear, and the right (long) one is inserted with the thread to the front. I can see that one might want a slightly longer one on the right if you have the original speedo bracket FF69/1, but why should they be positioned at 180 degrees to each other ? Surely not to reduce the unsprung weight moment arm of a nut and washer? Does anyone actually have their Girdraulics set up this way? Have I missed something obvious? [/QUOTE]
