I used the YA-1098 for the R1 - it's a tight fit, but I kept the rubber edges on - just be sure to secure it w/ a vice (I used heavy duty rubber bands) until it dries... I used 'Goop' - dries in about 10 minutes, and seals real well. Silicone should work well, too.
Good idea on the freezing part... I'll have to remember that when I change the filters on the other bike. -Thomas =========================== Thomas H.
