- February 15, 2018, 13:57:00 PMOK well I finally got the stupid thing in the mail 30 bucks for this little plastic thing 
and I put it on there this time with thread locker. I can't imagine a reason to have to remove it unless of course it breaks. It almost went down into the abyss where I would've had to take the tank off to get it out but I managed to fetch it and get it on there.

kind of gave me heartburn 30 bucks, but I passed on the screw because you're right it's just a 3mm and he wants too much money $17 including shipping. I'll go down to the local hardware store and come up with something.

sorry for messing with your thread, but we also have a family owned hardware store here, I wanted the wrenches for doing a chain adjustment. So I went in and asked them for the ones I wanted and what deal could we come to....lol....the took the three I needed from a box of miscellaneous odds and socks of wrenches and pliers that had been part of a set or a return and I got the three of them for less then $8.00, so worth it to ask and to be nice to the people you deal with........

- February 08, 2018, 11:54:46 AMLOL went to the local Fastenal store last year looking for a specific screw or bolt for the Drifter, I wanted to try something. Well I learned that the company policy is yes they have a storefront but unless you have a contractor's license they will not sell you anything, but, and it was a big BUT, you were going to buy a box of screws they would sell them to you and the small box as of 100.......yea right......

- February 08, 2018, 10:36:47 AMIf you've got any old electrical items lying around like a printer, scanner, boombox etc. you're bound to find an M3X8 inside. Just might save you a trip to the hardware store and having to buy a pack of 10 (Grrrr!)

Check scrap yards and such, I will check at the local dealer today.

- February 08, 2018, 00:12:45 AMI was out riding today for a few hours and when I pulled up to the gas pumps I realized the little trip meter knob had dropped off of my odometer. that's a drag. That's basically my gas gauge. Anyways does anybody know where I can buy one of those? I did a quick check online and I don't see anything for a Kawasaki Vulcan 800. Thanks.
