  2. Final Drive drain plug snapped...

    I did not measure it before I put it back in the bike, but I intend to make a test ride this afternoon and pull the plug again to see if any of the remnants of the original plug are still in the drive. I'll try to remember to measure it and update this thread.

  3. Final Drive drain plug snapped...

    Cr0ft, The guys at drainplumagnets never replied to my email. I don't think they have the plug.

I will try the dealer, but in the past they didn't stock the items I needed and had to order them just like any other parts dealer. BTW, I don't like torque wrenches either. I haven't found them to be...

  9. Final Drive drain plug snapped...

    I decided I wanted to change my oil in the final drive. I am at 27,500 miles and the 20,000 mile service was done by the dealer. well I believe they might have over tightened the drain plug, because when I loosened it the bolt snapped just below the flange. I was able to get the rest of the bolt...

  10. Switched CB Radio

    I ran the meter on the auxiliary plug. It's not switched, always on. I will try the Eastern Beaver PC-8 fuse box. Thanks.

  11. Switched CB Radio

    I am trying to install a J&M CB on my 2010 Rocket III Touring. I would like to have the radio switched as I know I will turn off the bike go in the house and if the radio is not switched off I'll drain my battery.
