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

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 :nenau 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 :thumb

:D:D 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. :blast
 
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.

There’s no wiring there though, just a plain hole.
 
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....
 
I’ve got two....




Sadly both employed keeping the water in...
 
Big hole here. :thumb2
