GolfVenture Posted September 5, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2011 Got the turnsignal / flasher fixed and all back together. And everything works. Engine is warming up right now. Thank you all for the help. But I need some more help. This one bolt, I do not know where it came from. It fits a 12 mm socket. I took the headlight out to get to some of the electricial. I took the steering cover off. I took the Air Compressure unit out, with the fairing cover so I could remove the flasher switch. I took the 2 side covers off. I took the seat out, but it is now back on with the 2 seat bolts. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TARHEEL RIDER Posted September 5, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 5, 2011 if nothing rattles or falls off...........you don't need it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfVenture Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted September 5, 2011 Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I know it funny but the bolt looks pretty important. It be different if it was a washer or something insignifcant. I wouldn't feel like wandering very far from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkuhr Posted September 5, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 5, 2011 Did you have to loosen the radiator overfill bottle to get the hazard switch out? Might be one of the bottle mount tab bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted September 5, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 5, 2011 Brian, We, collectively, are pretty good at this 1st gen stuff. There are about 25 +/- bolts that look just like that on the bike. You're on your own on this one. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSgt Posted September 5, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 5, 2011 Whatever it holds on will not fall off as long as it is parked in the garage, take it for a ride a really long ride because as the rules go drive it until it breaks then fix what broke. Or there is always rule #2 fix it until it's broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted September 6, 2011 Share #10 Posted September 6, 2011 My first guess is that it goes in the empty hole......... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmicko Posted September 6, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 6, 2011 If you're 1st Gen is anything like the one I had, that is the bolt that makes a new crack in the plastic when you put it back in. Every time I stuck the last bolt from a project in, I found a new crack in the tupperware somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Haywood Posted September 6, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 6, 2011 If it was a 2nd gen i"d say not to worry about it............but it being a 1st gen you better find where it belongs cause something is gonna fall off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfVenture Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share #17 Posted September 7, 2011 In my bag of VR misc nuts and bolts I found a matching bolt. What comes to mind is that I have 2 bolts for the seat but those bolts looks like something that I may have bought from a hardware store. Oh well, so I installed the two newly founded bolts into the seat and will call it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
