I don't know what t is about my bike but everytime I try and do something to it things go wrong. I managed to do a tail chop a week or so ago, but now the damn thing just won't go back together properly. The end screws for the tail tidy will not go in, no matter what I do. The original screws and clips were rusty and knackered, so I've bought spring clips off ebay, which are to big and just will not bite, no matter what I do. The holes seem lined up but they just won't go in. It's driving me nuts as I just want to ride the damb thing, but at this rate I may just sell it. Does anyone have any suggestions what else I can try to screw the damn thing in? Thanks.
