Huh, another thing that wasn't factory on my bike I guess

Disregard my comment then, lol.

 

Don't worry, my bolts are different sizes too...I think it was made that way.

 

Is there a way to clean up the sight glass from the inside? Mine seems to be smudged up from the inside, and i can't really see the oil level.

 

I went and took all my bolts etc to my Honda dealer and when they looked on the screen at the detailed diagrams they confirm that all i am missing is one rubber grommit from one of the bolts on the right hand side (already ordered).

 

Not sure how the bottom of your guys bikes are but on my f4i, I wrap tinfoil around the headers and lay a layer of tinfoil on the bottom fairing with a valley towards the drain pan and you don't even have to remove the fairings at all for an oil change.
Might want to take a peek and see if that works for you guys as 70% of the work is removing the fairings.

 

We need to remove the right side fairing in order to remove and install the oil filter.

 

the fairing bolts ARE different sized. the ones on the back and bottom have a thinner in dia.

 

When I bought my bike, it didn't have the oem fairings. So I figured the previous owner used whatever bolts to make it work. Glad to know its not as bad as I thought, lol.


Yeah theres no way in hell to get the oil filter off a 954 without removing the right lower fairing.
