Roadking special rear mudguard grommet

[Flipfly]

Hi gents. Just fitted a charging lead to the RKS (turns out it was already fitted with an optimate one

Anyway, I took the seat off and it was filthy under there because there is a bloody hole in the fender with no grommet in it, so shit is coming straight off the tyre into the underseat area.

I can’t find any reference to this hole being plugged with anything doesn’t show on the microfiche but wondered if anyone else with an RKS can pop their seat off and take a quick pic for me please.

Thanks in advance

Has someone hacked your life?

Lovin it matey, still trying to find a silk stars n stripes bandana and currently perfecting how to say Y’aaaaaaallll. I’ve got noisy pipes too (apparently they ‘save lives’).

It’s the hole for the single seat rear mounting point - it should have a rubber grommet in it...

I’ll have a look at mine tomorrow if it helps?

As you now know an optimate lead is hidden under the left hand side cover.

Just had a look at the Jersey HD Microfiche... seems to just be a hole!!

My million year old Glide had a. Rubber grommet - must be cost cutting!!

Stick a square of Gorilla Tape over the hole - job done!

No it aint,just measure the hole and get 1 off e/bay or just put tape over it,cut it too size though other wise you will see it from the o/s of the bike.

If I can remember it's for the wiring going to the rear light/indicators.

Will take my seat off in the morning for a look see.

This. Stupid design, covered mine with decent gaffa tape

There’s no wiring there though, just a plain hole.

It’s to let the water out......

 

[Tractors are go]

B&Q sell packs of rubber gromits in various sizes, if you can't wait.

So you are telling us you don`t know what to do with a plain hole......Good job it ain`t a fancy one......I still think you have been hacked!

Just wondering if it was missing a genuine Harley grommet, but it looks like it’s not the case. A solution will be found, might need to buy a welder, a plasma cutter, two strips of gaffa tape, a flat plate of stainless, three sausages and a case of frogs.

Just push a frog into the hole... that will sort it.....



Rivet....

Any ideas where to get a waterproof frog? Don’t need it absorbing water

 

[twizzle]

I’ve got two....




Sadly both employed keeping the water in...

Big hole here.

Cleaned up in 30 seconds.

Is that under the seat? Why didn’t they paint the hidden parts of the bike, rather than just leave it in primer? Shoddy work if you ask me...
