    Starter confusion

    Ok I've been researching the optional Honda cbr 600/yam r6 starter threads and they all refer to redrilling, adding spacers or longer or shorter bolts etc. All these options don't seem to apply to my bike as the mounting bracket on my starter is at a right angle to the starter instead of the...
