2003 GL 1800. What is the name of the 'U' shaped metal that goes across the top of gas tank, that the seat plastic tongue slides under? Where can I get replacement screws?

Of course....... Asphaltmaniac.
Appreciate your time and experience.

Thanks....I definitely plan to do that and a bunch of other things. Really appreciate you help.

Purchased 2001 gl. It was sitting in a barn and hasn't been started in 8 years. Has some mechanical issue.
How do I clean the oil sludge from the sump, when it doesn't start and warm up the oil?
