gettin' the Thrux track ready

[thruxiegirl]

I have everything drilled and ready to safety wire. Now what about the
oil fill cap, it is flat and looks hard to drill. Any knowledge of where I could buy a replacement that sits higher, so I could drill that?
Thanks
Charlene

Oh ya, after I take the kick stand off, what do with the switch?

NOT MINE. Lifted from Ratsnest

3) Oil Fill plug -Saftey wired to the long chrome pipe. Start by drilling vertical about 1/16 of an inch away from the slot. When the drill is about the depth of half a dime rotate the drill 45 degrees down and drill another depth of half a dime. Rotate the drill down parallel with the plug and drill straight through. Take your time and go slow, purchase a spare plug in case a mistake is made. Used a new never used 3/32 drill bit, went through 2 bits on this cap. I scratched up the chrome, so the cap was sanded and painted. Used Rustoleum High Temp Black paint to hide the scratches.

This may or may not help.

You can leave the switch alone. It is in the extended posisition with the stand up.

 

[cynr1023]

are you just taking the kick stand off for the track or are you going to leave it like that?

Removed only for the track

You should not have to do anything else. The switch is ok
