If you leave it in there and you get stopped and they strip search your bike, you'll get put in jail for having drug crap on your person. Beware!

I did the exact same thing once.Couldn't see the syringe at all.I blew air around in there until it worked the syringe over close to the fill hole,then reached in there with some really long needle nose and pulled that bitch out

Wish I had compressed air at home man. I have a feeling that getting that stupid siringe to be visible so I can grab it is gonna be the nightmare part of this operation.

Going home from work in an hour gonna see what happens. Ill keep you boys posted !

I really don't think it will hurt anything but there have been a lot of good suggestions on here on how to find it. Don't stop riding and good luck.

It's quite likely that "The Harley Force" took the syringe to another dimension, and it's not even in your oil tank any more.

On the other hand, one can make some interesting and useful tools out of bent coat hangers.

Boy did that statement trigger a memory ...Years ( and years ) ago one of the guys riding with us had a 550 Honda that had a rocker arm locking nut come loose and the valve got so out of adjustment that we had to figure out what was happening ... It was raining like hell so we stopped inside a car wash and figured out what had happened ... The Fix? .. Remove the gas tank and 5 of us tipped the thing over and shook and jostled the bike till the damn nut fell out ... Half hour later we were ( how would Willie put it? ) ... On the road again!!
