OK, did a bike safe day with Hants police on Sunday and clocked up just over 100 miles all in.

Giving the the bike a clean as Sunday was a bit of a crappy day and decided while I was at it I would tidy up the poorly executed hole over the grease nipple so the bung would fit nicely.

Somewhat surprised to find when I removed the pulley cover to find I was looking at the end of the output shaft and said mod was gone.

It was fitted by a previous owner and having only had the XB six or so weeks this is the first time I have had the pulley cover off. Of course I don't know whether the mod was home made either.

I don't know how long this has been missing, it was certainly there when the bike was delivered as I checked having researched mods on here.

Anyone else come across this issue? and anyone close to the Emporium prepared to pick up and post a replacement for the appropriate reimbursement please?

Thanks Pash, the Emporium must be a bit of a trek for you as it is for me.

The mod should be a tight fit in the output shaft.
If previous owner had filled down the disc or made one themselves that was not a tight fit , then overzealous greasing could jack out the disc .

Not a drop of grease present and little oil. My thought was the disc should be drifted in until flush with end of the shaft, otherwise it runs risk of being driven into the bearing.

I suspect this was just a poor fit for reasons I will never know.
