Looking good. What paint did you use? Rattle can?
You're going to need some shims and some patients.
Yes and yes. Use some anti sieze compound on the threads. A small amount will do.
I just discovered Allen Millard. He does some amazing things like making a triple into straight four.
Welcome to the forum. Where are you in Canada? There might be a member near you that maybe able to help you.

I use the same technique. I like it when all the washers fall out. Is like hitting the washer jackpot all over the floor.
I rode today! It was on my Honda CT 70 up and down the drive several times.
New years eve did nothing to the Yamaha. Got dunk, fell down. HAPPY NEW YEARS!
Today I did nothing with my Yamaha. I spent time with family and friends. Merry Christmas.

This could happen to any of us. Don't get yourself down. This is what I call " paying for your education "

Still better than pods
I bit more work and you will have a complete bike. Merry Christmas to all.
