What year is your bike?
My '75 900ss is a mix of metric and UNF - something to do with it being designed by Colin Seeley, perhaps?
I had to invest in a whole new set of taps when mine came out of the paint-shop. I have the details of the threads used *somewhere*...
The footpeg/silencer mounts and the swing-arm clamps are UNF, but the fairing bracket and transducer mounts are metric - wierd!
I'd welcome other views on this, but I think the 900's went metric in '77?
If this is helpful I'll be both pleased and suprised
Cheers,
Andy

Yeh, many (all?) Bevel Dukes, including the wide-case singles, use 7/16 threads for the pillion pegs. (Don't know about the swing arm pinch-bolts, tho' - have always believed these to be metric fine).
Many possible explanations, each tending to be more unlikely than the last ...
Ciao

.... nope. The Berliner Brothers sent a frame back to the factory with instructions to "make them like this" because they couldn;t get anyone at the factory to understand what they wanted for passenger pegs [or where they wanted them] and they had found some passenger pegs somewhere with the UNF threads.......... voila. thats what I heard and it could be right or wrong.........
