OK, what you are looking at is the start of a steering lock for parking. Between the rake on the forks and the motor weight, the front wheel doesnt want to stay lateral when parked, keeps flopping over, and the stabilizer springs arent enough. That puts a lot of side-load on the rim that I'm not real happy about.

SO, that tension bar limits the movement to a couple degrees (just the flex in the system). I CAN use a thumb-screw (M6 machine screw right now) to attach/remove it but would rather a drop-cam pin. Quick and easy with the fewest possible parts to loose. I only need 1/2" or so of grip distance MAX. Thats the problem. I can find a gazzilion pins that would do the job, but all are so long that they negate any benefit from the system, the 2 brackets would just slide along it. Anybody got a source for short-azz pins ? Or an alternate idea ?
