Default Air duct cover

So I lost one of those rubber things you screw through the side of the cover into your tank. It is driving me crazy cause when you get up to crushing speeds it blows up a little and "unhooks" from the front tuner part of the tank. Anyone know where I can find the piece that you screw your bolt into? If this doesn't make sense I can get a pic also. Thanks

You can buy them off ebay.. cant remember the size.. either 5 or 6mm.. look them up on the microfiche of RonAyers or Service Honda.com to get the size.. buy on ebay or from one of those vendors..

I had the same problem. instead of buying $50 bolt kit i just went to ACE hardware and got a nut and bolt for 40 cents. Its kind of a pain to take on and off for oil changes, but it stays on for a long time.

As you tighten the screw in the nut, it compresses (giving you the nubby shape).

it is like the first pic at the beginning and when you tighten it down it will crimp to look like the second picture.
