The bolts on my Lightning leak oil when on the side stand. Sure I saw something on here or somewhere about alloy washers to put under the bolts....anyone know where to get them?
I read on one of the forums that O Rings can be used to cure this. I took a screw to my local car spares and bought 10 for a pound. Smear them in non setting compound as well. Just bought two cork gaskets from Ebay for another bike I have. Put one on dry, no sign of oil anywhere. Hope this helps.
Hi,
These are close to the original imperial dimensions, may work with a bit of fettling:
