You're referring to washers under the Bolt heads ... yes?

Washers are needed if you have Bolt heads without flanges. You should have Bolt heads with a Flange as per Ronnies

The way I interpreted it, it's calling for flat washers underneath the rocker arm support. I may be wrong.

I think you're right. I found this photo too, that shows no flat washers under the support plate, only under the bolt.

I'm also saying that you don't use any washers if you have flange head bolts ... that's what they are calling for in Ronnie's breakdown ... a flange head bolt with the washers Omitted

Yes, understood. My question was specifically regarding flat washers underneath the rocker arm support, not under the heads of the bolts. I know that flat washers are redundant under a flanged bolt head.

The manual is pretty clear. Put the support plate assembly on first, then install the bolts with washers.

There's plenty of errors in the manuals and apparently this is another one of them ... for his year.

2000 (I think - approx) - earlier uses cap screws and washers ... 2001-later uses flanged cap screws and no washers

Look it up ... pick 1999 vs 2005 for example

Been so damn busy getting ready for summer that I'm not on here much, but progress is still being made on the bike. Only a few odds and ends left to order. Should have it on rubber tomorrow.

Congrats AK, it’s starting to look like a bike again! Any hopes of getting it done in time for riding season?
