    The wheel-side thread appears to be M18 x 1.5 (just measured it). Titan Classics' website is always frustrating because, whilst they do try to show all compatibles, they often fail to simply show the dimensions of their parts! (That said, I did recently find a trove of dimensional drawings for their fairing fasteners...but where did I find it? I can't find it on their site now!) Yes, I'm trying to avoid staking the titanium (I didn't even know what was possible!), and ideally I'd like a flanged nut so I can ditch the conical washer. There is one available in Japan for silly money (of course), but no thanks. I'd consider modifying the eBay one, but it's not flanged. Apart from the Triumph, I don't think there is anything else using the Honda-spec threads, unfortunately. Ciao,

    I can answer at least two of those questions, as I've been searching for titanium or stainless steel nuts for my RC30 axle recently. The NC30/35 RHS nut fits my RC30 axle. This is available in titanium from Titan Classics. I actually bought it secondhand from someone on 400GreyBike, who had bought it for his NC35. I'd guess the RC45 is the same as the RC30, but I'm not sure. The M38 x 1.5 LHS nut is shared only with the Triumph Speed Triple and the like; Ducatis use a different thread pitch--1.25, I think. This is actually my current headache, because I cannot find anything remotely affordable to replace this nut and retain the lock-wire or locking features of my corroded OEM nut. Ciao,

    Larry's swing arm is actually an HRC RC45 swing arm, IIRC, but someone with Larry's skills and connections could probably extend a "standard" RC45 (or RC46?) swing arm if he was so inclined... Ciao,

    Why petroleum jelly? I'm not sure what effect that would have, but the manual certainly calls for dielectric (silicone) grease. I understand (the Internet told me so!) that petroleum jelly has two relative drawbacks, compared with silicone grease: petroleum jelly has a very low melting point, and it releases flammable vapour... Ciao,

    The wheel in your pic looks like an SP2 wheel to me? (I don't have an RC51, but I do have three SP1 front wheels!) SP2 wheels are supposed be slightly lighter than SP1, but I haven't weighed them myself. Ciao,

    Mmmmm. Radial caliper conversion... A lighter RC51 wheel, eh? I think the only thing appreciably lighter than the SP2 front wheel is a carbon fibre wheel, e.g., BST: It's even five spokes to match the rear... Ciao,

    What did they make of your top box? Ciao,

    The Autobahn really depends on which one you're on. The popular ones are not only very crowded, but absolutely chock-full of restricted speed zones that go on for miles. And don't get me started on the "Lärmschutz" speed limits! Besides which, of course, when I'm in Germany on a bike it's usually loaded up like a camel, so testing its top speed is a bit of a pointless exercise! Ciao,

    www.cmsnl.com can get it if it is available; if they say it is not available, it's probably not available. Most of the times I search for part numbers on Google I find that the parts always show up on certain sites, but when I try to order them it turns out that the parts are not available after all. Very frustrating, as it usually takes them several days to figure this out. www.bike-parts.fr is as reliable as CMS. Ciao,

    You are obviously a patient man, Murray... Ciao,

    ...and goodbye, eBay. The "new style" short Denso COPs are about the same length as the Mitsu COPs, so really aren't suitable for the RC36. So, if I want to do this I'll need to buy three more short, old style Denso COPs and modify the Mitsu grommets or figure out some other way to seal the COPs. Anyone want to buy a set of four, nice-condition, new style short Denso COPs? Ciao,
