As is my way, I have an aversion to rusty anything.

So I made myself a new stainless gear lever adjustment rod. Putting one on a TDM is a simple matter, but on this Honda it is buried up behind the gearbox next to the swingarm pivots. Getting at it proved very difficult, and getting the linkage back in was also hard, until I hit upon the idea of using blutac to hold the crossbolt flanged nut in the ring spanner..

Sadly no one will ever see my stainless rod, but I know it will be rust free for years 😃

200+ mile road test went well, nothing fell off, leaked or blew up, so Im calling it finished.

Rained hard too on the way, but I was happy with that to test the wet weather waterproofing.

Taken me 22 days from first ownership, to get it up to my standards
