Head Lamp Stay Rubber Grommet CB750F - Alternative replacements?

(1/4) > >>

Pedro26:
Hi,

Just dismantled the front end lights etc and one of the rubber grommets where the head light stay locates into the bracket on the front forks is missing. The actual grommet is like an upside down top hat shape, which locates in the hole in the fork bracket. Previous USA owner had just wrapped a load of black insulation tape round the end of the rod on the bed light stay that locates in the hole. I’ve tried all the usual part places that deal in classic Honda spares, but it’s a discontinued, unavailable part. Is there another, available, rubber grommet that might be re-purposable for this? Off an Honda or indeed any bike?

Thanks

Which model of F is it, F1 or F2 for example.

I might just have one of those, is it a sort of metal ring with rubber bonded onto it. Top rubber or bottom? I'm thinking top.

On my 500 the insides of the fork ears were rotted out where the rubber sections fit.
I kept some of the inside bits I will post a picture when I find them - if they are any good for a 750 they are yours free plus postage cost.

I've taken photo of both sides - still in one piece might need some TLC if they can be restored at all.
