Howdy folks, nice new board!

Last fall I noticed a light buzzing sound when winding the ol' gorilla up. I never could find what caused it, till this year as I gave her the once-over for the spring opener, out of the shed. I see on the left side there is a missing nut that holds the lower radiator mount on. The rubber bushing and metal sleeve through it are still there. Anyone know the part number or size/thread for this? Honder parts dept seems to have no clue. You can answer here or email me if you wish.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Here, go to this original parts site and see if you can find it. :coolsmiley:

If I recall. There is no actual nut furnished at the 2 lower pivot points, although the shaft is threaded. The only threaded radiator fastener is the one at the top just off center. Nothing to worry about. That's just the way it is. It won't go anywhere!

Radiator only secures at top.  Bottom just slides off when top boltand hoses are removed. The through bolt that goes all the way across the frame in front is known as the buzz bolt.  It can cause the symptoms you describe.

I agree, it looks like it needs a small nut, but there was never one there from the factory.

Ok, I think I have the BuzzBolt problem.  I can't seem to find it.   I looked at the 'coolant' parts list and can't find a bolt that goes all the way across......

Does anyone have a picture of where this ominus bolt is?  Or some way to describe it?
I have a 1999 IS.

Is it one of these?  Or am I even close?  I got this from the Valkyrie Shop Talk page...

It's number 1 in that pic. I don't a picture, but I found this drawing. It is looking at the front view on the left side.
