what pipes are they buzaiki? never seen these before.
nate, your bike is well executed, just need some decent rubber (17') and lomas pipes to kick some big deisel arse!! are you thinking of putting a 17' rear on or leaving std wheels? the 17' rear makes life easier when it comes to tyre choice but tbh i think tyre technology has moved on and even the tyres available for std wheels is better than any road rubber from a few yrs ago. btw, the best colour is green/black for the 1s, top marks!!!
Nylon nuts are a good idea... I made some up out of some spare fairing I had kicking around... but didn't bother threading it... Just hoped that it would "self tap" down...
Obviously it didnt... I did look at those soft nylon nuts on number plates but they were too big

How about a bit of PVC pipe cut to length? wind that down onto the threads and it should stay there. This is the sort of thing I was thinking about

I've always got shit loads of that 5mm pvc piping (use it on irrigation systems on Pubs etc) If you want a bit I can post you some no problems.
It's great stuff for bleeding brakes as well, cut two lengths, stick it on your bleed nipple run to master cylinder, open nipples, pull bake lever and go for a brew-job done.
Stuff I've got is gloss black, costs about a tenner for 100m!
The last time Liverpool Fc won the league, George Michael was black and Michael Jackson was straight or visa versa, it's that long ago I get confused.
