FD pivot bolt cover

Mac One · Mar 20, 2018

Hello
I have a GSA twin cam and there is a plastic cover over the pivot bolt on the final drive ( it's a really tight fit ), and any time I have to remove it I end up damaging/chipping the paint surrounding it. I was thinking about partly screwing a self tapping screw in to the center of it so I can pull it out with pliers, I was wondering if anyone had a more aesthetically pleasing solution. Or am I the only ham fisted person with this issue.

Cheers

Slide an old feeler gauge or a piece of shim steel in the gap to protect the paintwork before using a thin knife or whatever to pry out the plastic.

I put a crash bung onto mine. Its held by an M6 screw and expanding sleeve and take the hit when I drop the bike.
