Well bought some Altrider crashbars for the S10 knowing they use the same mountings as my ACD bachplate, had to wait a week for longer bolts which arrived friday.
Anyway, one of the bolts, either coming out or going in, must have had a rough edge and nicked the thread in the head ..... SHIT.
Left the bike as I had to go to work (took everything of it of course). ran around all morning looking for an M12, 1.25 pitch taper tap (same size as original). found one. Blathered it in cutting compound (Trefolex
) and VERY VERY GENTLY picked up the thread and ran it all the way to the end.
It worked!!!!
luckiest git alive!!!!
