I don't look at it that much, but I do note idle is about 950 RPM and 5th gear @ 70 MPH is about 3200 RPM. between watching traffic and scenery, my tach is mostly ignored.

Dang, look what popped out of my wheel!

you are so right about stuff like that happening in the garage and not on the road. good Lord looks out for us more often than we think. -
that product looks interesting. with my riding, i am not far from a gas stop, so this wouldn't do me much good. although it would be nice to have just in case i wanted to go some back roads.

Has this thread died?

I had my poor week last week. i am looking forward to a better week coming. ditto on health and being alive.

there is a lot of truth in the concept. I say this as in the I.T. field, we deal with antenna's for satelite and directional wireless data. the connections outside are finished with a "tape" that does the same thing that mighty fixit claims. is their product as good as the commercial "tape" that (amalgums) or seals to itself and forms a waterproof bond? only seeing it in use will tell. they don't tell you the pressure thresh hold either. the info mercial did not put it on a car with a leaky hose. they only showed a radiator hose with fixit tape already applied after the fact. I would need more solid info. the shipping is 6 bux, by the way. for ordinary uses, i would get some, but it needs to be local. I don't want to order.

we have not had any snow here, so no sno pics.

is it just me that thinks that 63.00 dollars is high for thesw gas tank grommet covers. I know business folks need to make a profit, but meeza-thinks this is hiway rubbery. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-ROYAL-STAR-VENTURE-BILLET-FUEL-TANK-MOUNT-COVERS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem414b105f45QQitemZ280432238405QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://i.ebayimg.com/19/!Bgdvd5QB2k~$(KGrHqEOKkUEryhRc-oWBLFZC63QGw~~_12.JPG

oh man, what a realization with only half a second to decide what to do. on the opposite end, sumer time, we are 2 up making the last turn off tar onto gravel headin to the house down a bit. yea the graders were here a few days ago, then as I am in the middle of the left turn we hit a deep loose spot. down goes the foot to ease us over to harder ground and straining to keep us upright. that 3 foot stretch was a mini eterninty wondering if we were heading to repari city. my legs and arms ached for a day or so, but we stayed up. another time, it had been raining, so what, right, things are dry now. as we (2up) are home and approaching the garage with the door down, I apply brakes, we are not slowing down. deb says put on the brakes. my teeth are gritting down so hard i can't tell her they are on. we slide to a stop just an inch or so in front of the door. we get off and she is fixing to read me the "RIGHT" act. I point to the ground where the skids are in the soft wet dirt and say the brakes were on. keeping alert is all we can do except thank the Lord when he reaches down and takes care of something we missed.

Happy Anniversary, Mr n Mrs Kregger.

that would be the coming Sunday.
-
that was nice. thanks for the post.

I usually ride with all the above post options and concerns in mind. terrain, distance w/time and 2 up riding helps dictate how we ride. southern Louisiana is fairly flat, so doing 65 - 78 on the slab in 5th is no problem. around toledo bend reservoir i ride in 3rd and 4th.

Ok everyone, we have a winner. the fat/larger side of the grommet goes to the inside. I will hopefully take care of this tonight. I appreciate everyone chiming in and those who provided mental support. I just may get a ride in this evening if all goes well. let's close this thread and move on.

somehow i knew that was coming. does your gas tank have grommets. don't take em off.
-
many tanks. i took it off a few months ago and had to wait for it to get painted. thought i could remember. i am glad i took pics of how the badges and stripes go back on.

looked at that one. the image seems vague enough that it is a 50/50 which end is witch.
