solo cowl pad grommet

#1 Post by GRA400C » Thu Feb 18, 2016 6:08 am

it seams i have searched high and low but i cant find any info on where to find these :smt017 . i bought a aftermarket cowl and pad so i dont have any to compare to. i would imagine its something close to whats fitted on the lower side of the gas tank that the side cover goes into it but something tells me its different. any help would be awesome!!

thanks garrett

Can you figure out dims of what you need? I likely have something that would work in a bag of grommets I have if had idea of size.

Try a user called mountaincycle, he helped me out. I believe he told me to drill 7\16 hole. Got my pad from that guy in Japan who also sold repro solo seat cowls and gasket sets.

I would also think its the same as some other OEM yamaha grommet, I just dont have one to compare it to hand or i could look for you.

Sorry Garrett i missed this. Going off an oem tail i got 21mm out side dia,6mm for hole in the gromet & guessing the hole in the body work is 10 or 12mm.

Might be the same as the one that holds the front of side cover into the tank?
