It is a very nice bike, it is the F3 version. It had a complete restoration by the previous owner before her purchase of it. It was fitted with aftermarket Repsol fairings and looks awesome. I had the pleasure and honour of her asking me to take it for a test ride before she bought it. I told her if she didn't buy it I would! Very fast for a 95.

Well every now and then I wind up with somebodies bike in the gayrage that is a drain plug leaker and these little rubber plugs with an allen head screw in them to squish it together is a cheap and easy fix.

I believe we use to call those freeze plugs , Bobby .

I only know freeze plugs as the plugs which are pressed into engine blocks to reduce the chance of cracking the block should the coolant freeze. Gives freezing liquid the ability to expand by pushing the plugs out instead of cracking the block.

There were rubber freeze plugs that sealed the block by tightening a bolt-screw-allen head of some sort to make them compress tight in the freeze plug hole. I think you can still get them at Autozone. The ones for oil drain are 1/2 to 3/4 inch. I bought a pkg of 10 from Napa long ago and thru the years used them up on bikes.

I don't think those are intended as freeze plugs. If it was cold enough for oil to freeze, we'd all be dead, everything on earth would be dead except maybe things that live underground. Similar concept, but they aren't freeze plugs.

Not being argumentative here Vic :) but in 1954 , in Petaluma California, at the 76 station on hte north end of town, they were "freeze plugs" :)

I know, me either Chrly. Freeze plugs most people are going to think of the brass plugs. Maybe those were invented as a replacement and it didn't work out, or something, I don't really know. I would consider using one in a pinch as a temporary freeze plug. The brass ones can fail, it's rare, but I've seen it, usually due to a fitment issue in my experience. I could see using one of these to make the vehicle drivable until it can get fixed correctly.
