Lost my nuts

[eeyore]

I stopped at a red ight the other day and heard a loud rattling noise coming from underneath me. Turns out the exhaust pipe on the rear cylinder had come loose. When I picked up a couple flange nuts at the dealer I was told that oh yeah, that's a known problem with Sportys. (Now, don't chastise me - I know I should be checking all fasteners regularly.) My question is, are there other "known problems" I should be putting on my PM list?

I used to spend a lot of time keeping my old chopper all polished up. That's when I would find loose fasteners.

eeyore/Bigincher ... I'll be opening an online shopping site for just about any fastener needs you guys might have. It will have loads of information on which items to use in which application, etc. It should stand to bring an old industry (fasteners) into the 21st century, and offer discounts from what you pay at dealers or Home Depot/Lowe's/Sears.

The site will either be fasten-pro.com or fastenpro.com. Hope to help you guys out in the coming months. I'll keep you updated when the site is finally up.
