Crankshaft Missing Nipple

#1 PostAuthor: cheeme » Thu Oct 18, 2012 3:21 pm

HELP ..

The crank shaft from my Z1000H seems to be missing a nipple locator thingy - sorry I don't really know what to call it. The photo below is of a different shaft ..but it clearly shows a nipple right at the bottom of the photo.

The question is ..Do I need the nipple and if so any ideas about where I can get one or even if its possible to graft one on :wink:
