I've seen a lot of threads on froggtogs, nylon and so forth but i was wondering about one piece vs two piece?

I just purchased a Chrome Radiator Grill from ebay and learned that I need spacers for correct installation. Was wonder if someone with one of these might remove a spacer and post the diameter and thickness of the spacer. There is a Mclendons Hardware store near by and they have all sorts of spacers in various sizes. I would also think that a Nylon Spacer would work for it would be far enough away from the Radiator heat. If I can't find the exact size I might be able to find one long spacer and chop saw it to the specific length.

Ok, I am sorry, but it is tire time and I need some information to order. I have found the best price at Dennis Kirks. Beat all others by $ 79.04 . So now for the right front tire question. I have found a rear Avon Venom 42 in the same size as the front. But this tire, Avon Venom AM 42 has greater tread depth 11/32 compared to the same size in Avon Venom AM 41 tread depth of 7/32. AM 41 Front (On front of the bike now 11,414 miles and down to tread mark.) Dimensions: Inflated Width/Measuring Rim Width: 6.3 in./3.5 in. Inflated Diameter: 25.2 in. Acceptable Rim Width: 3.0-4.25 in. Deepest Tread Depth: 7/32 in. Balance DOT: No Directional Arrow: Yes-Front Wheel Speed Rating: H-Rated up to 130 MPH Capacities and Construction: Load Capacity/Inflation Pressure: 761 lbs./42 PSI Load Range: B Bias or Radial Ply: Bias Tread Plies/Material: 4 Nylon Sidewall Plies/Material: 4 Nylon DOT Approved for Road Use: Yes Tube or Tubeless: Tubeless-Can be used with a tube --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AM 42 Rear but in same size - almost identical but with greater tread detph and heavier load capacity Dimensions: Inflated Width/Measuring Rim Width: 5.9 in./3.5 in. Inflated Diameter: 25.4 in. Acceptable Rim Width: 3.0-4.25 in. Deepest Tread Depth: 11/32 in. Balance DOT: No Directional Arrow: Yes Speed Rating: H-Rated up to 130 MPH Capacities and Construction: Load Capacity/Inflation Pressure: 906 lbs./49 PSI Load Range: C Bias or Radial Ply: Bias Tread Plies/Material: 3 Nylon/2 Aramid Sidewall Plies/Material: 3 Nylon DOT Approved for Road Use: Yes Tube or Tubeless: Tubeless-Can be used with a tube ------------------------------------------------------------------- This information was copied and pasted from Dennis Kirk web site. I believe it is correct. Has anyone else tried the AM 42 rear on the front, after all, the biggest difference is the tread depth and sidewall. AM 41 - sidewall 4 nylon - tread ply 4 - nylon, AM 42 - sidewall 3 nylon but tread ply material of 3 nylon/2 Aramid. I am replacing front and rear, 11,414 miles on them of both. Both worn out. Rear worn to the threads in two different places due to when I locked it up twice to avoid accident with people pulling out in front of me.The front is down to the tread wear marks, almost smooth across the tread mark, but with very little 1/8 " tread depth left. -
tired of trying to get these on and off. Also don't like the idea of riding without them seat seems to lift off when getting off and on, or shifting position. Took a couple of small blocks of nylon and drilled holes in them and threaded them onto studs, finger tight. Aprox. 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/4

You know I've probably dropped 4 nuts putting my seat back on and I think Ive only found two. Where have you guys seen them go? I just ordered 6 more. I tried the nylon ones but like the length of the stock nuts. Makes it easier to install. -
As ya'll know I did the "gauge conversion" last spring. After a summer of driving, I found recently that the "main fitting" (that M20-1.50 oil drain plug that replaces the stock plug in the side of the engine that we tap into) was leaking oil. I had used a nylon washer. When I removed it, I found that the threads were quite chewed up ... not stripped but more like "flattened". Like the sharp edge of the thread had been filed down. Any ideas about this? Are these threads not exactly the same as the plug that comes out of that hole? I'm concerned about re-using it now. There seems to still be sufficient thread depth to hold it in but .... to me, it should look normal after unscrewing it. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions? I wonder if wherever I got the oil plug from that they gave me a wrong one...or is that even possible. What is better than a nylon washer? I'm thinking the washer somehow shrunk from compaction and heat to cause the leak because it was fine for most of the summer. I just noticed this recently after parking the bike for the winter.
