Part two.
The final assembly should look like this. Note that you cannot see the nut on the left side.
IMPORTANT. You want approximately 1/2" of thread protruding from the nut so you will have sufficient threads to install the assembly to the shift lever.
Assembly installed on motorcycle. This is not different than installing a normal shift peg. Use blue Loctite during the installation.

What the heck, I'll post this over here, too.
On my lunch break today, new air cleaner cover bolt:
- take your favorite belt buckle or other item
- dremel the offending bits off the backside
- get an elevator bolt at the home store
- sand blast the backside of the buckle and the bolt
- epoxy the two together
- spray the backside with self-etch primer
- ready to go on the bike

took a long time for 4 wheels, shouldn't take as long on the sliders. But you have to be VERY meticulous.

A paper bag is 2000 grit I'm told, and I've used that to polish headlights, along with some auto polish (NOT wax). There is also a 3000 grit sanding pad you can buy, but not really necessary since aluminum is soft and easy to work. I use corn starch on a MF rag to remove the bulk of the polish between rubs, and mineral spirits will totally clean it when you're done
