Title: frame plugs?
Post by: ZG on August 30, 2012, 10:36:55 PM: Anyone know of a source in the US to get something similar to these vs buying from Europe?

Interesting. I often wondered why Kawasaki left unplugged holes in the frame the way they do.

If I REALLY want a glass of water and someone in England can send me EXACTLY what I am looking for for $3, then why not? I bought the frame plugs and 3 different sizes of fairing rivits and with shipping, I paid less than $20.
