  Anybody know what this is called or where I could find a replacement? It’s the bolt which fixes the strap pillionn strap down on a street triple - I’ve manage to ruin the threaded part trying to fix a tail pack

  thanks again. Took it all apart again last night and found I'd done a crappy job removing the old gasket from the block, still might use a smear of sealant just to be on the safe side.

  that's great thanks, would LOCTITE SI 5980 Flange Sealant work as well? I can pop into Halfords on the way home and get some.

  I'll check torque specs but I only ran it for a couple of minutes (doing a drainage flush, prior to filling with new coolant) and it started leaking

  Thank for the reply. Yes from the mating surface between the two. It was a very thin paper type gasket
  I’ll have a go at refitting - i think it means removing radiator/exhaust again…
  Yes 46k - got the manual with the bike but it’s at home and I’m in work

  I've been trying to fix numerous items on the street triple, one being the water inlet which broke in half when trying to remove it. I've replaced it with a new one and gasket but when I tried it this morning it was leaking from it.
  I may have creased the gasket or something? however I assume it doesn't require sealant, etc?

  Can’t seem to find any non disc rims or am I being completely useless? Maybe interested in a pair if they do

  It does sound great, much better than my vtr1000 but that had standard pipes
