I think the foot peg might be the last of the craziness.
I'm now taking off the forward shift control. I'm going with mid controls.

We'll see what's next....

Ok, is this normal to have slotted screws for rotor mounting bolts. I'm glad I'm trashing it because I don't have a screwdriver big enough.... lol

Just pray that the engine or trans hasn’t been opened up. Fun watching this thread. It’s like a series of pranks.

Now that is truly some creative maintenance, if ever there was! Good grief...…

Lol, but at least they used Flat head Screws which was appropriate for that Countersunk rotor.

Also Not only is that the wrong rotor for that wheel, it jumped over an era

Below would have been correct for the rotor
