You can normally find them at most marine stores. Also basspro shop or either cabelas had them at one time. www.basspro.com or www.cabelas.com Mike Todd Larson wrote: Hello everyone, I hope your weekend is going better than mine: My moto is dismantled for sub-frame repairs. This afternoon I went to three stores looking for footman loops, or something like them: Ace, Big R, (and out of desperation) Home Depot. I didn't have luck anywhere. Where do you get yours? Could you suggest a dealer, or on-line source? Thanks a lot, Todd [Torn apart] A17 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I'll sum it up with this email, and you can disregard the next 500 emails you just inspired. The "doohickey" can fail, and does in 5% of KLR's. Failure can cause catastrophic concequences 9blown motor which at high speeds ccan suck real bad), but usually it is just eaten by the motor and the peices end up in the oil pan or oil screen. If you can replace it do replace it. Many have never replaced it, many have. No delaer on earth has ever heard of it, every person on this board has. The real gurus know for a fact it needs to be replaced. There are parties in you area where wrench heads get together and replace them and adjust valves. You can host a wrench monkey party yourself with offers of food and beer (mmmm beer). Welcome to the KLR world, we aint pretty, but were f***in unstoppable... Sean, A-18 --- steve Jason wrote:
