gas tank damper/rubber mounts?

[sly409]

Hey guys I'm slowly building up a list of things to buy from mikesxs including new jets, brake pads and other various items to rebuild my bike. I noticed my gas tank was missing one of the front dampers, in place of it was just electrical tape wrapped around several times. I Also noticed I dont have the rear tank damper at all and I think from the manual there is also suppose to be a third damper on the frame towards the rear of the tank.

I know what the front dampers are suppose to look like but I have no idea what the 2 rear ones look like since mine never came with them. Can someone take a picture of theirs to show me? Or if possible provide a link to where I can purchase replacement dampers. Thanks.

ok so I received my rear tank damper and mounted it. I feel like its still missing a damper in this area I circled with red. Is there suppose to be something there? I havent seen any pictures of anyone else with 79 xs400f showing anything there. Could anyone chime in? pictures possibly? Thanks!

Yes there should be a rubber ring that goes in the metal ring at the end of the tank.

Kk thats what I thought.... Would anyone happen to have a picture of one mounted on their bike? The only thing I saw was this from mikesXS

I love this forum! I've just learned I am missing this rubber piece as well.

So the one at Mike's is the one then?

Thanks for posting your question Sly!

Mine isnt missing but it had desentigrated to crap so I`ll need to replace mine at some point also.I can not beleive the prices for the little rubber pieces on these bikes.

[arfstrom]

I know its not available via the OEM sites, did you try the first link in there? I didn't have money available to try to buy at the time of the first posting. (sorry, I get paid weekly, very very weakly) (I was thinking it would be some road trip for a 3 dollar part )
