Had a nice afternoon out on the Café Racer, the sun shone and it even felt warm... Summer is on its way...

After a tea stop I put the key in the ignition and noticed this ....

In a pinch you can source one from an electrical supply. They will have a similar one for large conduit. Or find a bearing lock nut works better

You are not alone, we share your pain.
 
Actaully Gazz, if you search for “M25 x 1.5 titanium nut“ on EBay you will get loads of results and prices from £20 including postage.
