Ok, thanks for the info and the pictures. That gives me an alternative to trying to drill the new needle mounting holes bigger.

Fitting speedo needles to 1100.

Having just received my new needles all ready to get cut and painted. I prised off the first old needle and the pin that needle attaches to is too big for new needle. Anyone else have this problem and how did you resolve it please. Thanks

Kat 1100 sprocket spacer

Can someone tell me please behind the front sprocket on the 1100 Kat is a sleeve that partially fits into the sprocket seal. How long should this be and should there be any other washers or spacers fitted before the sprocket goes on. Many thanks.
