... on the cheap.

I bought a bunch of these Caterpillar 8M4991 o-rings... UV-resistant yellow silicone rubber, these puppies won't get hard and slick like rubber o-rings do.

What does this remind you of?   :ImaPoser


Edit - Sold out, and I won't be buying any more, since I'm no longer riding.  Here's the link to where I got them...  http://www.dieselgaskets.com/prodwindow ... M4991&sc=N

Great deal Stretch.  8)  I just ordered 4 via PP.  

Either you stole these off a truck, or the local Cat dealer was trying to fund his retirement when I bought one at their parts depot last year.   :evil:

The Cat dealers have a markup to keep the lights on, pay employees, and all that jazz.  I'm just offering a public service to folks with great taste in motorcycles.  

All I need is enough to reimburse me for the o-rings and the shipping that brought them here, the Paypal fees, and a stamp and envelope to send the fledgling o-rings out into the world.

Thanks for your order.  They'll be going out in tomorrow's mail.

So........ do I understand it right.  No addtional items needed, the ring just frictions on throttle grip?  If so, I assume they will fit a Steamer as well.
"The path to righteousness and wisdom is as narrow and difficult to walk as the razor\'s edge."

Stretch

The ring holds friction on the grip, and anchors itself (with friction) against the bar end.  They'll fit nearly anything, really.  If a bike doesn't have bar ends, the O-ring can fit in the gap between the grip and the throttle control housing.
