What's missing now?

[TexasMike]

So I decided to put some new plugs & wires on, while I had the mastiff down changing all the fluids. When I started taking off the coil cover, I discovered that all of the flat washers (chrome & fiberglass) were missing. This is first time I've really taken anything apart (2nd owner / 1 year in). I ordered the complete set from partsking, including the bolts. Figured you can never have enough bolts... Now I just found what might be another missing piece. On the backside of the front cylinder head, there appears to be a bolt hole with no bolt in it. The back side of the rear cylinder head has a bolt in the same spot. Closer inspection of the actual bolt hole shows that it's plugged (?). I can't find anything in the service manual that shows these "bolts or bolt holes". Am I missing a bolt, or does anything actually go in there?

It's for a temp guage. Not used on these bikes

My K9 has one of those too….let’s buy two of whatever is supposed to be in there!!
Haha—-Actually it’s a blank—nothing goes there on most bikes—I may be wrong, but I recall reading another thread somewhere that is maybe used for an EFI sensor? Someone will post what it actually is…..no worries.
Good to replace the missing fiber washers!! Leave it better than you found it and it’ll run forever!!

Good place for a cup holder. It's not an empty hole it's an opportunity!
