That might be a possibility, my seat should be here tomorrow. It's a solo seat and I'm going to mount it solid (no springs) and trying to get it as low as possible.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #997395 Lug Nut (User) Motorcycle-Based Therapeutic Intervention works!

Dipstick is useless anyway. You just need access when doing an oil change.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #997411 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Dipstick tube 1 Year, 1 Month ago   How much are you really gonna gain???

I was going to use an expandable plug just didn't know if it would seal ok or how much pressure is in the oil tank. My seat is at the Post Office so I'll know in a while which way to go. I may not need to do anything   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #997427 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5142 Re:Dipstick tube 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Sonny wrote: takehikes wrote: Out of curiosity why not just put in a plug?

I may not need to do anything I wouldnt use an expandable plug. Get a plug with proper threads and a socket head. Check with McMaster Carr out of LA they have all kinds of stuff like that.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #997438 Sonny (User) Ride hard, Die fast Junior Boarder Posts: 157 Re:Dipstick tube 1 Year, 1 Month ago   takehikes wrote: Sonny wrote: takehikes wrote: Out of curiosity why not just put in a plug?

I don't know that that would accomplish anything,the dipstick tube it self fits into a machined hole in top of the oil tank and has an o-ring and hold down bolt (no threads) May just cut the tube off, epoxy the hole in the tube shut and bolt it back on. I'll check McMaster-Carr to see what they have.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
