[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 131807, member: 302"] There seems to be some concern from very competent engineers that visit this forum over the safeness of the locking rocker feed bolt, the concern seems to be that any metal that is removed from the rocker arm (ET25-MOD) to accommodate the female threaded component could weaken the arm and I presume lead to a breakage of the arm. Now to someone like myself that has zero engineering expertise this concern seems irrational and without any foundation, but has anyone suffered a breakage of the rocker arm due to removing the very small amount of metal that is required for clearance, I have ridden with them in situ for years without a problem, but granted I do not thrash the engine. I just wondered whether there was an alternative view from other very competent engineers that this mod is perfectly safe, especially as they are readily available from the spares club, I would assume that they consider them to be perfectly safe to install.
