Hi all

I have security bolts front and rear on my G/S. There are fecked and are breaking up/coming apart. Given that most of my riding now (99%) is on road I dont really feel I need them anymore (and they make the wheels well out of balance at more *ahem* "normal" road speeds) - question is, when I remove them, how do I deal with the resultant hole left in the rim?

My preferred solution was to be a couple of layers of duct tape across the hole on the inside of the rim under the rim tape, and jobs a good un, but as I have no experience of this just thought I would check here with he guru's :D

Cheers!
 
I would leave a bolt in the hole, a 1/4" BRH gutter bolt with a chrome plated acorn nut on the outside would look OK.
