One or two of mine leaked after refitting them. I did try to crimp them a little tighter but ended up swapping for jubilee clips. Mines an 02 mind so they are a little worn I guess.
And if I'm honest although they don't look as neat and tidy as the originals I prefer jubilees cos I know exactly how tight they are after I fit them.
What works for me 99% of the time is drill the head off the bolt carefully, once the head is removed drill a 3mm hole in the center of the remaining stud then tap in 3.5mm Allen key and unscrew.
Most of the time once the head is removed and the pressure is taken off the threads the stud will unscrew fairly easily.
I bought my Dave Cooper second hand thinking it was the correct one for my small camper van. I used it a few times with no problems & then one day out of the blue the bike handlebars smashed the rear window, Yes the bike was secure it happened on a flat road!
When I looked into it I think mine must be for a car. I need to make a spacer for it now to stop it from happening again.
Turn the rack round so the front wheel points the opposite way ya may find it sits better.
First thing that springs to mind there is ripping the bolts out of the plastic air box on a gasser! All that weight sat on the plastics.... Hmm no Thanks.
I use one on every single bike I've ever had! It's never caused a problem or done any harm and to be honest I can't remember the last time I ever found a pice of summat in the carb bowl!
