I don't think its an "Ongoing issue".
I think I got a goof, and I am a mechanic.
Threads should be at least as long as the bolt thick.
Math says I should have 4.5 threads, I have 2.
3/6" (.1875) Diameter. 24 threads per inch, .041 inches per thread, .1875/.041=4.573 threads.
This is not a big complaint.
How thick is the bowl where the threads are?
Can I ever get a Pan Head Bowl?
I am reading around page 179 where they are developing the bowl. I think its perfect.
Pan Head, Shovel Head, VRod.... I have 3 BMWs in my garage including a 21 R 18 First Edition with 10,000 miles on it I bought this spring.
