  1. And did you know that the strap isn't even orderable? When you look at the diagram and parts list, the list skips right past the number of the strap and one other item.
  2. I've merged the three threads. Please don't start new threads when adding info to your original post.
  3. Looks just like my previous XX. Your location and the list of parts would be helpful. Also whether you'd want to sell the parts separately.
  4. LOL. Did you JB weld the stem, or did the previous owner?
  5. 2001, that's pretty much the parts list needed, everything else is serviceable. Well, and the headlight has minor issues but I'm not going to replace it unless it's super cheap. They are pricey. The tool strap, of course, is missing.
  6. sorry, not sure if they are right/left. Alcohol may be involved right now. I need a tdsafd FUCK Right mirror stem Any year, they are all the same. Must.stop.drinking.with.friends
  7. Not sure. It may be a generic bolt. Way down low and rear. I guess that's a cheap part.
  8. Bathroom AC vents...as in, the things that blow cold air in from your AC, right? They should be connected to ducts that go to the air handler. They should not be open to outside humid air. Or...something else?
  9. Cleaning up a bird on the cheap, figured I'd ask here before buying retail. Stuff I need: Right mirror stem Left rear lower fairing bolt (one of the not-pretty ones, might be generic) Push pins for the dash cowling below the tach on 2001 and newer Bottom fairing push pins Front cowling push pins (the black cover behind the front wheel) Various other push pins Thermostat Grommet nuts for the middle bolt on the windscreen Plastic washers for the windscreen bolts
  10. If anyone happens to have one...otherwise I'll order a new one in a few days.
  11. Yeah, I missed a word: I'm not aware of any other current car without it.
  12. Famously, not pieces of shit like Jeeps that lack even the most basic modern upgrades. I'm not aware of any other car without it however.
  13. I'm sure many do. I can tell you that both Kryptonite and Xena mention it as a warranty-cancelling usage. Lock-safe lubes are NOT graphite, or anything that stays "wet." I posted one already, which I've used for close to ten years. The one bottle still isn't empty, and I use it on locks, knives, cigar cutters, and anything like that which needs fine, clean motion. You can use any number of dry lubes on locks safely. If you're paranoid there are a few small-can options that specifically say "locks" on them.
  14. Nobody wants a wet lock I suppose? Nice and dry, just like metals like to be when rubbing on other metals.

    Amateur.
  16. People who aren't idiots and don't want to attract dirt and garbage into their locks, I guess. And since WD isn't a lubricant, I suppose also people who don't want to make a small problem worse.
  17. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2048224240.html?storeId=1037273&spm=2114.12010615.8148356.32.40432f95QO6PNW
  18. I had two duplicates made of my previous XX keys, and both were harder to use then OEM. One was from some shitty random place, the other from a locksmith shop. Same shit. They were made from my unused OEM spare key, before I started using it since the other was wearing out.
  19. SOLD! Paypal?
  20. When gas prices went up, gas theft was common and locking cap sales skyrocketed. I have no idea why they are on bikes, since there's so little to steal. And sugar is not soluble in gasoline, I think that hole thing is a myth. This seems like a stupid question, but I assume everyone knows you need to push down on the cap before turning the key? Otherwise you're using the key to scrub the locking lugs against the ring.
  21. Someone cut the top on my old Triumph to steal some shit, when the doors were unlocked.
  22. For a while, not sure now, it was SOP in NYC to leave your doors unlocked. Otherwise they'd break a window just to see if you had something to steal.
  23. If I leave town, I carry a spare key, in every vehicle. In town, nah. Sounds like the lock might have been getting hard to turn? I use TUF Glide in locks (and a bunch of other things), doesn't attract dirt, makes them buttery smooth.
