Yey for kindreds!

I was just thinking about super glue, but I'm worried that if it fails on the highway, she'll start spewing oil everywhere and then I have to deal with that and the tow, too. But a year is a pretty long time, so maybe I'm fine doing that until the part arrives.

Did you torque it down after super-glue, or just hand-tighten?

I found the part on bikebandit.com for $12 (part # 567988, "cap"), and it's in stock at Honda, but Honda has to ship to bikebandit, then they turn around and ship to me, and the fastest shipping they have is UPS 2-day (but not Saturday or Sunday).

I suppose the stars could align and Honda ships it today, bikebandit gets it Friday and ships UPS who delivers fast on Monday, but that's still a long while to be out a commuter bike. Maybe I need two Nighthawks?

Anyway, thanks for the understanding parallel story.  ;)

Peace,

I had exactly the same experience. Mine broke too, and I just use super glue
to put it back together. It was supposed to be a "temporary" solution while
I ordered a new one. I completely forgot (until now), and it is being like a
year since that happened. If you find the part somewhere please let me know.
In in mean time. you could just use super glue or similar.

After successfully replacing my chain and putting back on the drive

"change cover cap" to the specs in my Clymer (71 in-lb) and SNAP, I watched
it split into two, and my heart fell.

Double-bummer that I'm supposed to commute into work on my bike next week
and the sales guy at bikebandit.com who I just talked to said *maybe*
they'll get it from Honda in a couple business days, and then *maybe* I'll
get it by Wed or Thurs next week.

OUCH!

Anyone know where I can get one faster, like tomorrow?

Thanks,
