Not just on one place.Main reason roto,s go, is rust gets onto the leaves, and busts the bond, the more it busts,the more it goes.M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Only time will tell ,Marcus.I'm not going to worry about it. The general manager of the TSSC put me onto it and it was never a problem for him. One of the most prevalent Triumph restorers in the country who is close to where I live has also done it that way without problems.Only only did one that way. The other one was put on the 'proper' way when I replaced a vertical link.They are both metalistik ones so who knows how long they are good for. I have heard of plenty of non original failures.
