No - Imster that is not the silver wire I'm talking about - 0.17 mm is too large of a diameter - remember large safety wire is 0.32 inch.
The silver wire strands I use for safety wire are the wire strands that come with the electrical connectors made by Top Studio - TD23003
I strip the black insulation off and then use just one of the silver strands -
I'll PM you a picture - if I can figure out how.
Didn't you have a CBR1000RR that you took to the track?
I raced unlimited superbikes here in the USA in AMA National and CCS regional races on a CBR900RR from 94'-98' until I was paralyzed in a street accident.

Hey Imster - I went back through all your pics of the 84' NSR500 build - and YES you are correct - the silver wire strand you used on the pink/red tubing where it connects to the fuel tank on the right side is what I use for the safety wire on the hand grips.
A couple of additional questions though - how did you do the numbers "1" and "3" on the front cylinder heads - is that a decal??
Also did you drill the fork legs for all those bolts?? if yes, how did you manage that without the drill bit slipping off or not going through straight??
Cheers
John
