Side cover grommets
« on: August 19, 2007, 07:13:36 PM »
Can anyone tell me the sizes of the grommets for the side covers of a K0? We have a grommet house here in town and I wanted to see if I could match up the right sizes there.

Thanks,

Well they are not round....more oval.

Honda still sells them cheap.

Buy the Honda grommets and save yourself a big headache.  I was talking with a guy who sourced some grommets, non Honda, his left side cover flew off on the road and was run over by a trailing car.  The Honda grommets really grab well.
