frame plugs?
« 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?

HW store or Lowes perhaps?  Possibly a cork would fit.  You could always paint it black, of course.

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.

I was wondering what the purpose of these things are, then i remembered there is never anything wrong with plugging a hole or two, or three
