Re-routing the vent hoses, pretty much back together, but can't figure out where the shiny bolt goes.

Little help here?

 
Rad,

When I have left over parts I usually just throw them in my left-over-parts-bucket (55 gallon drum)...It comes in handy sometimes when doing projects around the house.

EASY -

that there is a dog collar/muzzle connector bolt - for those Man-boob contest winners that have gone on to bigger & better dominatrix leather fetishism.

or maybe it belongs to the air conditioner.

 
You mean you've never had the seat off, lifted the tank, or accessed this bolt? :rolleyes:

Maybe it's just my eye for detail...

Been under the seat and tank a *billion* times, but I never had any reason to fidget with the bolt, so I never took note. Maybe radman got bored and took his buffing wheel to the black bolt and shined it up?

 
Geeeze guys c'mon this is Radman

And it's even 12 pt

God the guy must be really bored...

-bvw.
Very good grasshopper. It's from a new Mack Granite, cam bolt from the brake system. And yes, I was bored, thought I'd have some fun. For the record, it's roughly a 3/4"X12" fine thread 12pt. If that held the tank on, and was typical of the fastners in the Feej, the bike would weigh 950 lbs. But it could fall over off the sidestand all day long without damage...... :p

 
We should have a "name that bike" continuous contest. Take a pic of a single part that is typically visible on an assembled bike, (headlight, seat, turn signal, battery cover, etc.) and then see if we can identify the bike.

You go first, Rad, you've got to have some antique, off-beat, two-wheel something sitting around there.
