Are you posting about yours? If you did,I could follow yours while you follow mine then neither of us could go wrong?!!?!
(Shops were closed today so I didnt get a hole drill.Ill get it tomorrow.)

I will get some pics up. My Slave cylinder got lost in the mail. I need it to move ahead. Looking great on yours.

If you don't mind me asking, how much were those shox, and where from? They're gorgeous!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThey are nice,arent they! I think theyre from Thailand but Im not sure. Theyve been getting very good reviews and are pretty popular among classic enthusiasts here in europe. The ones Im going for (those in the photo) are the cheapest model.

But they have others for different price range. The piggyback ones are very nice but out of my budget.

I got a YSS shock for my Z650 and it seemed like the best option considering price, performance and reviews. I've not ridden it yet or had it for a while to say more than that yet. Also I've got a monoshock one so it's different to the dual shock options.

It was a toss up between theYSS and the Ikons but I couldnt find the Ikons I wanted and was told that it would take weeks to order them from down under.! They were a similar price and they werent Hagons, so I went with the YSS. Itll be a while before they hit the road though.A lot of other stuff to do first.

Back to the clutch conversion. One of the bolt holes was munched up,so Ive filled it with liquid metal and plan to thread an insert into it.
The problem is,its in a very awkward place (of course) and I cant get the drill onto it. I bought and extra long one yesterday and if I pull the
generator cover off,I hope to be able to get at it. Could someone do me a favour and get out the verniers. I need to know how deep the hole should be. I dont want to drill through into the crankcase.
Its the hole at the end of my finger.Top left.

Thanks in advance

Davido,
I'm at work for another 3 hours. If no one else chimes in I can measure mune. I have a 77 kz1000a1, not sure if they are the same.

kaw-a-holic. No problem,Im not going to get anything done until tomorrow anyway.Its a 1981 J model motor and I did a picture of what I have.
If the other (known) measurements add up with yours then it should be good enough.


Thanks

Bummer mine is different Davido. Mine passes through.

Nevermind,thanks for looking.Ill go to plan B.

Plan B;
Can anyone else help out here?

Just to refresh everyone:
Did the screw/bolt come out intact?
If yes, just the female threads in the casting are buggered up?
If no, you already got the broken screw/bolt out?
The hole is now filled with epoxy?
In each hole, you do not want to make the hole a little larger, tap and use next size up mm larger diameter screw/bolt?
You want to drill and tap the epoxy and left over aluminum with the same size tap and not cut into much of the aluminum casting, using the epoxy to repair threads?
Or you want to run a helicoil type insert in an overbored/tapped hole?
