Title: Fin damper rubbers
Post by: Trigger 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

I'm in the wrong trade!  :-\

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

Mine are the right colour and would still be cheaper than Germany ;)

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.

....... and if you leave them off the fins resonate!  ;D Waggles, specialist subject the bleedin' obvious!

They are fitted to my F1 so I guess all models have them

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
