Handle bar nut covers

[BuckShot]

In need of 1 handle bar nut cover for 86 Vr. While on a trip last week with the kids, one of my plastic covers that hide the nut to adjust handle bars came flying off. Hoping someone will have this small item, Gladly pay for it and shipping. Thanks Gil

There's something at Home Depot or Lowe's that work for this, but I just can't remember, off hand, what it is. It's been so long since I did this fix on mine that I can't remember the product.

 

Hopefully someone will chime in here and tell you what it is. In the mean time...

 

BUMP!!

 

Just thought to look on http://www.partshark.com/fiche_select2.asp?category=Motorcycles&make=Yamaha&year=1986&fveh=178&x=128&y=13

 

Part # 8, CAP 26H-26133-00-00, on the fiche. Costs $9.97 each. Just another way to go.

The plugs are still available from Yammy from what I hear. About $20.00 each. I tried several different types of plug and hole covers from the hardware store but due to the bit of an angle on the bar they didn't hold very well.

 

I thought I might try to fill the holes with black sealent and cut it off flush. I mean after you get the bars set, how often do you move them? It can always be dug back out of needed.

 

I'll probably order a set myself from Yammy over the winter fixits.

Check with Skydoc_17, he had some yellow covers on his bar ends on his scoot. He may be able to tell you where he got them, and if other colors are available.

Should they get a spot of glue to hold them in? Crazy glue? Something else?

 

I'm going mount a new one in mine soon.

Gil, send me a PM with your address and I send you a plug off and 83. Looks like its the same part number.

Install with a small amount of latex calk... down the road it will still let you wiggle the cap out and cleans up nice. RTV must be cut to release and cleanup is ugly.

Jerry, Thanks,but I already ordered from Partsharks. Needed a couple of other small items so went that route.

Thanks again Gil
