Title: What's supposed to be in these bolt holes?
Post by: moosewing3 on June 01, 2014, 15:48:52 PM
Was having a smoke staring at my bike and noticed these empty bolt holes. Is there supposed to be something there?

You talking about the 2 round holes in the end of the engine mount tube? If, so, nothing...that's the way they are..

I didn't laugh, those were speedholes.
Where goes, or what was, this opening. The inside of it looks clean.

Located there where a step could be mounted but a little too small.

Do not be misled.  That is where the blinker fluid goes.

I've been looking for that stuff!  My local store stopped carrying blinker fluid a while back.  Where did you get that?  ;D

Rushed out to get some blinker fluid and they were out...did come home with a metric cresent wrench though. Now I can really work on my Drifter...

Yeah, I saw those next to the metric pliers.

  see if they have winter air on sale for tires yet, eh!

Make sure that's the Synthetic blinker fluid.   

And don't be fooled into buying those cheap knock-off metric pliers and crescent wrenches - I think they only work on the coarse-thread stuff, and won't tighten anything with fine threads - like your muffler bearings, for example.  Or brass balls - when the wrench slips off the brass balls, that usually leads to more problems.

You seem to be implying that it's actually possible to "win" an argument with the wife.  I think your basic premise is flawed!

Try winning a 7 to 1 argument.  Not happening any time soon for me.
