[Honda-C70] Re: four head nuts

 

Had it not been for the slipped nut or something, I would have told you all how a little time with #10 ring spanner greatly added to my riding pleasure. The little 7" 10/11 zigzag ring spanner bent slightly as I tightened the nuts last night. And now my adventure made me land in dangerous territory.
The sound is much better and lower. Vibrations at grip much reduced.
I did some careful tightening or head nuts of two other bikes as well. One nut gave a tick sound and then turned a little more.
