Hey, so both the bolts that hold the choke bracket down onto the top of the jugs backed out/fell out and now I sound like I'm ringing a bell unless I keep it above 3000rpms. Is this a Harley part or a Mikuni part? Or both? Anyone have a number so I can get them ordered?

Next:
Is there seriously no way to get that gay cyclone decal off the front fairing? It looks to be clear-coated. Same for the tail logo.

I'd also like to see any tail end mods that are closer to $100 than $500. I'd rather fab my own so any examples would be helpful.

Here's a tricky one. The nut in the seat that the under-tail wingnut is threaded into is missing. I'd thread-match it but since the wing nut can't be removed... any ideas? I'm afraid my seat's gonna blow off in the parking lot.

Thanks for the help.

bolts holding the bracket to the heads is an HD part, but a trip to the hardware store will do -- eyeball, take a couple a bolkts to the parking lot, figure out zactly what you need, and you're done!

the cyclone logo on the flyscreen and tail section are clearcoated -- removal will be messy, and result in the need for paint

tail mods are legion over in the knowledge vault -- have a look at what's been done

the seat retaining nut is an acme thread, not easily available at the local hardware store -- should be orderable through the dealer, though . . . .

Part numbers:
Screw 4748
Washers 6701
Since these also hold the top tie bar I'd skip the hardware store bolts unless you know what hardness they are.

"Is there seriously no way to get that gay cyclone decal off the front fairing?"

I like the Cyclone decal and I'm not gay.

I did find out last year that I really enjoy Broadway musicals, though.

Alright alright. I use the term loosely. What I mean is I've been looking at M2s for a while and I at first thought the cyclone decal on the fairing was a left over thought bubble from a Calvin-pissing-on-something sticker. I was upset that someone would put a Calvin-pissing-on-something sticker on the front of such a nice looking bike...in the most prominent place on the whole rig.

Maybe I'm over reacting. You say Cyclone decal I say Calvin-pissing-on-Triumph sticker.

Sorry to offend any of you thithies.

Actually, a Calvin-Pissing-on-Triumph sticker would be cool!

I don't have a Cyclone but I've seen my S1 looking at my S2 kind of funny.
