Striped my rear axle nut

[ben2go]

All the GS I have and have worked on,have a castle nut.I change mine over to nylocs like the Euro bikes.I got the idea from the UK GS500 site after finding a post there a few years back.I really hate castle nuts and cotter key/pins.

I love castle nuts and R-clips......and a tiny zip tie

You guys just reminded me to replace the cotter pin with a Jesus clip, that way they are both re-usable.
