Need a new radiator plug for your Honda CX500, GL500, CX650 or GL650? Bert Brand has had some new radiator drain plugs CNC-machined out of nylon to replace the Honda part # 19013-415-004 (sometimes you can find one on eBay US, eBay AU). While compatible drain plugs are available in some countries, they're not readily available everywhere - or not cheaply, at least. So what do you get?
They're nicely packaged, embedded in carboard in a padded envelope. The plugs themselves look like so:

Perfectly.
If these aren't readily available to you for less than € 5,50 (shipping € 4,75 world-wide), these are well worth looking at.
