Kev:
Check out this,

How NOT to get your bike back after it has been fitted with a new front tire. It was driven like this for around 80km's before I noticed while cleaning it.

I forgot to tighten up the similar bolt on the back of my 1100 in December. Couldn't recall if I did tighten the pinch bolt or not, so after 40kms stopped and checked to make sure and I had to tighten the bolt. I made sure I didn't forget to tighten the front pinch bolts up  when I did the front tyre a few days ago.

Gavo:
I t just goes to show,
you have to double check and cant rely on someone else, who is probably there only for a pay check at the end of the week.

Good labor is hard to find.

And on top of that they will tell you yes we did tighten the bolts, it would be unsafe to not do so.

I work with monkeys like that and they call themselves tradesmen too!

rendog:
I hate that sort of shit  :well
I've had many an argument with repairers of all persuasions over the years.
But unfortunately in today's society money is king and morals get in the way of business.  :-(((
Glad the rider found them before something potentially fatal happened  :)
Now where did I put my torque wrench???
