Fin damper rubbers
« on: April 04, 2015, 10:15:35 PM »
DSS charges £4,20 each for these and they are in black (wrong colour) Found that Zee Germans are doing them in the right colour and at a good price  > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400895103927?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

They still work out at £3.50 each including postage. :o

I'm in the wrong trade!  :-\

Still cheaper than DSS and Bitsa, and the right colour ;)

Ok, why were these rubbers originally on the bike, were they an afterthought because of some sort of problem, was this problem resolved on later bikes, and what happens if you leave them off. Are they only needed on certain years?
Questions, questions, questions!  ;)

I think they were to stop the fins resonating.

Perhaps Ishould have kept the bags full of them that came in NP or Noboru gasket sets back in the 70's, I could make a fortune from them now
