tank rubbers?

#1 Post by addicted to relics » Thu Aug 30, 2018 3:35 pm

I am not talking about the mounting point but the frame rubbers that keep the tank from ever rubbing the frame
I need those where do you get them?

or should I just hockey puck the thing? :smt021

I haven't had any on my frame for 20 years, and there are no tank related marks on the frame. I don't really see the point of them. If you like them, keep looking, just saying they are pretty much decoration.

As RuZty said, they are not needed.

Your tank will not touch the frame, if properly mounted.

Looks better without them, too. :smt023

If it's not stock, forget they ever existed. Are you using the rubber rings in your clutch?

They are decorative only - styling queues taken from the TZ racers which actually need them...
