    that looks better than i had imagined you'd think yamaha could make that, like, an option or something.......or a kit....but then, thinking further.....why pay yamaha some high price for what you can do yourself....for probably less than half of what they would probably charge.......

    if all you have is the stock horn.....then you need to get the stebel, or equivalent.....it will mount where the stock horn is.....and will get the attention of anyone moving into your lane........it feels good to see the startled look on their faces as they jerk their car back into their lane.......one lady dropped her cell phone it scared her so much.....

    yep, i was hoping someone would do that........i bet the entire assembly doesn't run over $75, including gauges....i'd like to see a pic that shows the entire dash, windshield etc.

    for the last 5 years, my girlfriend and i have traveled out west for vacations. each trip is about 1 1/2 weeks long....we never plan where we stay, and we usually find a mom and pop hotel for around 40 - 50 bucks.......i do plan the route out before hand and every little town we will go through i get a list of the places to stay, whether it's one place or 50......the web site i use is www.usa-lodging.net....it also gives phone numbers......we just ride until we decide it's about time to stop....look on the back of the map where we are , find the town we want to stay in, and call the hotels/motels etc. , ,get prices and make a reservation.......if the cell phone has no signal, then we just head to the town we want........we have stayed at some real nice $45 - $55 ones....yep, and sometimes we pay more,...some others are, well , interesting.....but that's what makes for tales to tell ,right?... this year, we leave in may for the blue ridge and natchez trace...i plan to do the same thing for the towns that are nearby.......it has always worked for us.... initialy, i looked at camping.....but when you end the day, a nice shower, bed, and usually a place to eat is better than pitching a tent, packing ,unpacking, shuttling of to a communal shower, etc., dealing with rain, cold, heat, or whatever else nature sends your way........

    then i read it wrong.....that's where the confusion is coming from.......cause i installed the non fouler with an 18mm adapter from egauges into the cylinder head , then installed the sender into that brass adapter...........i apologize if i've mis-lead anyone........

    midsrv the leak we're talking about is at the base of the non -fouler......some of us have problems with the crush gasket supplied ........i haven't come across anyone with leaks at the brass adapter or the sending unit...........that i remember anyway....

    if you could find one to fit...........sure, it should work............i tried to find an 18mm oil drain plug gasket, no dice. 14mm is the biggest.............i had a blister pack of assorted gaskets ( nylon, paper etc.), none fit.....you could drill the hole, make it fit i guess........but why do that, use an 0-ring torque specs.....tried to find the spec for the plug you remove from the head, couldn't find it in the service manual.........i know someone on this site should have a general torque recommendation for the size of bolts........ using the 0-ring ,it was easy to feel the bolt snug up.......i used a 7/8 standard socket with a stuby ratchet.......and had my hand close to the ratchet head...it's a technique i use a lot so that i don't strip something...especially in aluminum threads....... i did not have to wrench the fouler tight, i just snugged it...........

    i wish i could give you an exact size, i know you can get bulk 0-ring packs with multiple sizes and that's what i had.....the o-ring i used was snug against the threads when i rolled it on which made it fit real good in the gasket part of the fouler. if you've read all the posts with this thread, you will see that i spent a lot of time and money looking for other adapters and they are out there, but for different reasons, they don't work......and now ,like you , i've had a problem with the fouler gasket......the brass 18mm adapter from egauges you can't get a wrench or socket on because of the raised shoulder but it uses an 0-ring..........the 18mm adapter from hydraulic hose metal/rubber gasket is too big and catches the edge of this raised shoulder........which leaves you with the fouler...and now an 0-ring instead of the crush gasket...... no matter how small a leak, you don't want any leak......get an 0-ring and that should (?) end the problem at least when you snug it down, you can tell when it's tight enough........

    silvrt after a few runs last week...i noticed mine was leaking also, at the head.....so i took off the fouler and discovered that the crush gasket was distorted...i don't know how that happened ..........about 1/4 of it was not crushed all the way, as if it had moved. i removed the crush gasket and put an 0-ring on it.....that has worked so far
