Dear 'Please Tell Us Your Name', Each bolt is inserted from the center of the axis of the bike, outward through the pivot hole in the center stand. On the bolt...
Richard, Thanks! I want to make sure I understand what your saying. I have seen multiple pictures and based on the parts diagram - it appears that the bolt...
Greg, The bolt head is on the inside of the frame. I am basing this on the number of singles I have disassembled and subsequently restored. The logic behind...
I don't know if this is appropriate to the R27, but on my R25/3 the spacer had dug slightly into the frame so that when tightened the small amount of space...
Hi Ben, Greg, The manual certainly shows the bolt head outside the frame. I just looked. Regarding the spacers that have dug into the frame: suggest having...
Thanks for all your responses - this is great to get new insight or a different perspective. Regarding the assembly - the parts diagram calls for five pieces...

Thanks all who have answered. I am not certain the key is original to this particular bike - bike was not running when purchased. This is the key given to...
It looks like I have the longer key. I will try and adjust (bend) the tab that the key touches so that it is able to contact the metal point better. I did...
