Anyone secure your DZUS fasteners like this ?

Take a look at the one on the left.  I just wired up the fastner to one end, then drilled two small holes in the bodywork and wire tied the back.

I am a noob, so I did not know if this was common or a bad idea or anything.

I thought about putting some 1/16" tubing around the wire just incase it starts to scratch the bodywrok...

Never done that, but it's probably not a bad idea.  Bear in mind, it'll last until you crash...  (but then again most of the work we do on these stupid things only lasts until we crash)..

Ooooooo, nice safety wire. And I consider myself the safety wire queen.  :D

You can be the "queen", but I stand behind my extensive Air Force training on safety wiring. We had a whole week where all we did was safety wire different bolts and bolt patterns.  ;D

I know, Rhiannon did also. She was the only one in the tech class that knew what a safety wire pliers was. Then they had to learn to do it by hand. Fun, fun, fun!  :o :D

hey you guys wanna know a secret ?  I got my wife tricked into thinking I twist all that by hand ! ;D

Seriously, I think this beats duct tape !

Dan, I think your wife has you tricked into believing that she thinks you do it by hand...  LOL

I had to safety wire the EPU on an F-16 this weekend. Let's just say that the bike is MUCH easier.  8)

....my orthodontist does my safety wiring.....I'm still wondering about all the little brackets he super glues all over the place are for!  ::)

That's really not a bad idea.  I've lost several dzus fasteners, and the things are bloody expensive!

Sorry......  

... but this really made me giggle.  It's a race bike   ;D

Give it time, you'll be running around with duct tape holding your bike together and not think twice about it.
