Drilling + tapping swing arm
Evenin' all,
Could the all knowing org comment on my little thought for the day? I've got some nice little P-Clips left over from a job and they'd be just the ticket for hiding the scottoiler delivery tube along the swing arm. So would drilling 3, possibly 4 3mm holes and tapping them to fix the P clips cause any issues? I can't see it causing any probs, but thought I'd check and see what y'all thought. Cheers, Phil

Re: Drilling + tapping swing arm
As above, there is so much metal in the swing are that a few small holes won't compromise it's structural integrity!

Re: Drilling + tapping swing arm
You only need 2 P-clips to hold the pipework securely enough. I just fitted one to the Versys in the same way, and other ones I've done like this include a ZX-6R C1H, ZX10R C1 and a 954 Fireblade.

Re: Drilling + tapping swing arm
Did exactly that with mine, though i snapped the tap while making the 3rd hole.
Now its sitting nicely with just 2!
