Rubbers don't stay? ooooerrr

[grinner1969]

There you go, open attack on your fellow friends
Back to the job, took my tank off, to do bits and bobs, put it back on, but them pesky rubbers that go on the bottom rim don't want to stay in place. I have tried them all ways round but can't get them to stay. I have a feeling that they do work as a kinda shocker against the frame, but if they don't stay in place
Anybody had the same problem with a solution please

I for one has lost at least one rubber tank mount to the abyss that is the V of the engine, the only way to get it back is to strip the top of the bike down....
I also recommend gluing the two rubber strips on the tank, where it meets the front of the seat, these can fall off or split rather easily.

That was my next question about rubbers
The one on the left side is fine, the one the right is split and hanging on by a thread, can I get a replacement for these
Also missing an insert rubber from the seat end of the tank (the bolt that runs straight through) can I get one of those anywhere?, have managed to put plastic washers in to space out, however, can feel metal on metal up and down movement, if that make sense, can that be sorted

I would use a dab of clear silicon not as aggressive as super glue

A dab of exhaust silicone to hold them on for me. The originals just have a bit of double sided tape stuck to the inside of them. They are not cheap to buy new from DS after you add the postage.
