Oh yes! 550 side cover grommets ordered just before Christmas, nowhere to be seen now.  They were by the kettle in a jiffy bag last time I saw them.


 Well wher else would they be? ;D ;)

Any chewy bits in ya brew?
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

That reminds me must order a set of these grommets. Or should I order two sets and place them in different places to give myself a sporting chance? 🤣 I’ve just had a better idea buy one set and just fit them on frame.😜

Not actually mine, only a sample picture to amplify the point...  ;)
Mine is a green spares shipment container with folding lids, filled with Honda stuff (and then some), digging through it saved my bacon/the project at hand a couple of times though...
(amazing how many motorcycles come in with wrong/missing bolts, grommets, clips...)

It is amazing how many times I have been saved a trip to the hardware store by rummaging in the several bits and pieces bins.
