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, +Lie On 11-04-28 06:23, Javier Garcia wrote: > I had exactly the same experience.
