    Safety wiring question

    How can I safety wire the front axle and pinch bolts on my Ducati monster 750? The pinch bolts and axle are all recessed into the fork legs and I don't see any way to wire them. Would RTV be OK on these bolts or is there some trick Im missing? If anyone has experience with wiring an air cooled duc your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    You'll probably have to drill through the fork bottom into the bolts.

    Where do you live? I'm sure you can find a racer that lives near by to come over and do a quick overview of everything on the bike for you.

    I am in the Springs. I could make something work if I drilled the forks. I was hoping I wouldn't have to but, if that's what it takes! Everything else is wired I just need an example to work from on this.
