WHO TOOK my DONUT?

radco · 04-20-2008, 05:49 PM

I know we have some BIG people on here and figured someone got hungry,,BUT you could have left a beer when you took my Donut from under the Saddle bag

..... That is the Tail of the missing donut,, Pulled the bags for a Spring clean up ,,I heard about missing donuts but Now mine is missing :'( Is it a case of a hungry person? or a GREMLIN who steel 1 donut??? and WTF How does it fall out while the bags are still on ???,, Off to motor sports tomorrow to get one,, I need ALL the parts to the toilet kit ::) Rich

When Waterman hit the railroad tracks today and a piece flew out from his bike, with me following, I thought it might be that donut, not yours of course but his. All I could see is what looked like this fairly large rubber piece bouncing down the road as I zoomed by. See his trip report to find out what it was.

Ells,, with the size of the Pot Holes we have up here it may have been mine LOL....Funny thing is they are held in place,,, NOW I know what people are talking about when they disappear ::).. GOING to pick a set up and put some silicone on them... for now I
took a simulator flange gasket (rubber) off my Service truck to give it a cushion for now,,,,,,,,went to put my fender tips on yesterday ,I did a dry fit over the winter,, THAT Gremlin stole the screws to 2 of the tips :'(,, ... Good excuse to ride today

The Gremlins stole one of my donuts about 2 1/2 years ago. I got a new one from kawi, went by the local auto paint supply store and got a tube of "weather strip adhesive" and glued all 4 into place. Haven't had a problem since.

YOUR was the post I read the day before I took off the bags

Its your fault

.. Ill check into the weather strip glue,, I usually have Clear Silicone on my Service truck,, BUT the GREMLINs may have gotten that as well ::) ... Rich

The weather strip glue works GREAT. Take out all your donuts and clean where they go good, Put the glue on the brackets, wad up the donuts and put them where they go, and quickly install your bags. After 30 - 40 minutes, you will really have to make an effot to get them off again. I guess the gremlins tried mine again and could't, so they moved to yours? .................... Sorry about that

Radco, it was Todd, sorry to tell you. He just can't resist a donut!

I've lost a couple. siliconed the remaining ones in place, and took a piece of 1/4"ID rubber hose, sliced it longways, cut to length, and slipped it in place, and siliconed it.
works just as well, and was free!!(already had some vacuum hose laying around)

They got my donut too! I had to remove my bags to install the travel trunk I just got and one of my donuts was gone, but someone left crumbs and a coffee ring in the saddlebag to boot.
