    Pretty sure it's $35-40. I pay cash a lot so I don't have a record of that item. The stainless front wheel bolt was $32.33 incl. tax (Pretty sure, don't want to put the wrong price on George's stuff) so this item should be a little more given the artwork on the top.

    No worries here:thumbsup: I just don't want to bother George with something until I am ready to act.
  4. Just got off the phone with George. I ordered my oil filler cap and a HiFlo filter. I tried to get the total from him so I could send a money order out to him today and he said, "Nahh...just write me a check when the UPS guy gets there."

    That's some old school jazz right there, baby. I felt like I was back in the 70s :thumbsup: .

    I used a bigger o-ring and it fixed mine up. This new one sound good but the pictures on here are not working for me. Anyone else?

    Apparently glangston deleted the pics that were being hosted somewhere else, which makes this thread a bit confusing.

    I thought it had to be something like that. No worries.
  8. Not an exact answer but...

    I ordered an oil filler cap & a Hi-Flo filter and the bill was $51.25 which including the shipping to Colorado. Shipping was $14 something.

    Put a picture up again (actually a gallery of products). My old site at Road Runner was lost in a make-over.

    The oil filler caps sure are nice. My factory cap didn't leak but I was hanging out at Georges shop a few weeks ago and while we were shooting the breeze he started bolting things on bike.:lol: :lol:
    They really are a work of art, just like anything that George make.:thumbsup:

    What kind of a wrench do you use to snug one of those things down?:confused:

    What's the percentage rate of always snugging up at the right place so the gunsight is always in the right position?

    The o-ring is fairly thick with about a 50% compression possibility so if I take the peak to peak thread pitch and divide it by the compressibility factor of the o-ring, no wait a minute I think I have to divide it by the original thickness of the o-ring and factor in the compressibility:confused:. Oh I got it, first I have to establish the initial metal to metal contact point, :thinking: no that probably wont work either unless I can confirm that the leading edge of the first thread is the same on all engine cases.
    Oh never mind trying to figure out percentages is just to tough, take my word for it, there isn't going to be an issue until the o-ring becomes hard, squashed and loses it's resiliency. By that time you should replace the o-ring any way.:D
