Thumbs up New HD Funnels

Ok, I'm a sucker for funnels. I must have all kinds of them, right along side my turkey baster. Some purchased and some made of old plastic 2 liter soda bottles.

Like so





2 liter




Even a 20oz


I have a bunch more, including the drag spec black oil filter pan drain dilly. You get the idea.

So when HD came out with these fancy new funnels I just had to get em.

First up, Oil Catcher Drain Oil Funnel.




Then the primary oil fill up





Now they even came out with a few more

Trans Funnel, that I don't need, already have one similar (even pictured above).




And a road funnel, which I'll just skip on principle that they should endorse such ideas. But maybe the high milage bikes need it... who knows. I think if maybe on a road trip.. you took a bike that burned some, then I would just take a normal funnel. Otherwise, I think the paper jobber would just get crushed.




I have yet to use my 2 new funnels but I know they are going to work great. Hey sometimes its the simple things in life that get us thru the day. LOL.

Yea, I don't do funnels anymore since I bought a "hose-cap" thingy... Basically, it's a cap that came with a number of adapters to fit any bottle, that has a 6'' long by 1/2'' diameter hose attached to it. Works great.

Heh. I bought one of those to fill the transfer case on my truck. A normal funnel just makes a huge mess. Cost like $3.

FAIL! Looks like the retarded new fuel cans. HATE those things- where you have to angle it just right and press the spout and need three hands.

So it will work on the standard size qrt mouth, but not the large mouth version of the qrt. I already have something similar. But mines a twist cap that has a built in funnel thing... much cooler.
