.....the one on the top of the chrome clutch cover. Should it have a little rubber cover or a tube on it ? It looks very bare and prone to the weather.:nenau
 
the weather,its a polished Harley not meant to be used in weather.:green gri

It just looks like it should have a cover like the rubber ones on brake nipples, but who knows ?? Not me that's for sure :blast


Anyway what about when I wash it ? Water in the clutch housing!!!
 
there are 11 nipple covers in the accessory catalogue.

Bald eagle, 'nam vet, Marlboro Man, Old Glory over Okinawa, Kennedy, Golden gate, 57 Chev, Statue of Liberty, Twin Towers and Ronnie Regan.

$40 in rubber, $55 Leather, $105 Depleteted Uranium.

If in doubt, or if lacking in common sense, cover it.........

Then again, if you really need to ask, you deserve bleeding nipples :augie

It might be a breather though. :nenau

So rubber nipple cover , or open breather ?? :nenau

Can someone look at their clutch cover ? :)
 
I read the thread title and assumed you were having another go at att :blast


I don't have a go at nipple face he has a go at me. I just have a go back at the twunt that's all .:D:rob

He knows nowt about nipples anyway.

Fanum is nipple expert. According to his avatar anyway.
 
This is the little nipper.


Looks dangerous :eek:

I'd wrap gaffa tape around it and then carefully seal the whole lot with silicone sealant to be on the safe side :D



But seriously, just put a rubber bleed nipple cap on and stop fretting. What's the chance of you ever getting it wet or dirty anyway? :D

Hope this helps :thumb
 
Is that corrugated asbestos on your garage ceiling?

:eek:

No not asbestos it's whatever the modern equivalent is. Cement base stuff.

I'm going to steel a rubber cap off one of the bikes in my garage.....oh hang on a minute :blast

I just thought it may have been a breather hole.

Cheers I will get a cap for it.
Done 500 miles on it since I got it, so it'll get dirty. :thumb
