Changing construction of steering

M12 bolt made from mild steel is weaker as axle of steering pivot.
After riding for 20 km, it is bent a little. That was repeated still riding to 1000 km.
So I had to improve the problem.



The axle bolt on above photo is one After riding for 400km.



Then I use rod end and bolt used with milling machine. MIG welding was used in this time. It's easier than arc rod welding.
We can see this way on :Steering pivot : open bike wiki.



This operation was completed a day. MIG welding is speedy !

Then today's my riding.
Fini.
