I ended up buying these inexpensive vacuum caps from autozone. They push into the holes and rattle is gone. No tools or bolts to mess up the chrome and if I loose one, oh well. They come in a pack of 8 and I have yet to misplace one.

In addition to saving money, you also have the peace of mind that it is getting done right. It seems like people's "give a sh*t" is gone. I have not been impressed with my last few dealer visits. During my last dealer visit on my 1200RS the tech over filled the oil by +1/2 quart and forgot to...

I just picked up a classic and lost the right side reflector. If anyone finds it out there, let me know. I actually like the look of the deleted reflector. I see online factory bags with oem plugs. Does anyone know the number for these? If not I may search around for some faux ones.
