Oil tank mounts

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All, 
Does anyone have any photos of lower fixings for the oil tank on a gen 1 handy? Feeling really think here but I have a couple of bolts left over which have rubber heads & a hex shape to fit a allen key. I presume these are to help with vibration but since the heads are rubber a allen key just spins! 
So close to having the bike back on the road now just in time for winter...
Thanks

	i think what you have there are called silent blocks that have come apart i think these should be checked regularly as they often fail which probably aint good for the rest of the tabs

	Yes, just checked the diagrams & thats what they are called. Just cant work out in my head how they fix together! Thanks for your help, Ive ordered a couple of new ones since the rubber does look to be slightly perished. Thanks

	if you're old one is in two pieces i think its the vibration that breaks the weld when I put the new one on i put some duck tap on the back of the spanner so it holds the nut so you can screw the block on to it
