[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 7513, member: 4034"] [b]Headbolts[/b] In the literature it is made clear that once built at the factory the UFM and headstock are to be regarded as one assembly, and splitting them at home isn't advised. If however they ARE split, and you replace the bolts, what you must NOT do is thin the heads from the underside. They ought to be forged bolts, and the underside of the head is where the strength is. I don't know which type mine are (1951 C Shadow), and since it is freezing, and dark, and snowing, I have no plans to harness up the dogs and mush over to the garage to find out. I'm sure you'll understand... [/QUOTE]
