After reading on here about the tops mounts cracking causing a metallic creaking sound everytime i took my foot off the throttle, I stripped the mount and this is what i found underneath the square nut broke throught the body. ________________________________________ Refurbing Cyclones Black work in progress!Phase 2 rear light conversion to go on. |
