Cannot find anyone in the states that sells them. Is there a good supplier in the U.K.?

Never used them but these sell all sorts for OSS bikes including Marving

the bit im talking about sits on the top of the bracket its like a foam/rubber spacer that sits between the top of the bracket and the bezel of the clocks on the top
On the RGV that part is also replaceable is it this bit where my hand is? Although it was discontinued for the RGV so I stuck it in a pan with some boiling water and wintergreen to bring back some of its old self then boot polished it with parade gloss to make it look ok.
Then added a rim of thin self adhesive rubber to take out the play, it worked ok for a bit of a bodge...after pic fitted, sorry not the best pic

If its like the one on my RGV you can still get them from Suzuki,they look like this, and are replaceable.
Maybe yours is the same or not can't tell without a nice pic

While I’m in Germany thought I’d make a list of the things I need to do or get hold of
before the season starts
Tyre warmers
Genny
Fuel cans
Fire extinguisher
Front stand
Bike related tasks are as follows;
Refit the carbs
Fit the yamahaha throttle and new cable
Change the clutch cable
Change the bearings in the wets and get some normal road pads
Sticker the beast up OSS style
Check the regs to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything
Learn how to lockwire like a pro and then lockwire like a complete amateur probably
Test ride on a closed road/track
Shakedown test at a local track
Need to stop now getting a headache,I’m sure it will get easier once the first race is here.....hopefully anyway
Meeting up with a load of the bandit lads at Mallory in Feb so will pick there brains too

Ditch the closing cable, dont need it, a well lubed opener and the return spring will do the trick, saves a few quid and makes it so much easier to get the carbs on and off
Cheers good tip as it was a bastard to get them off today
,is it worth getting a QA throttle or is this a waste of cash
-
Carbs off ready for a clean need to knock a few jobs off the list while I’m off work,will be getting some new cables as these ones are well knackered

Forks back in and back on her wheels,last job before I start eating the mince pies

Think they’re mk1’s but haven’t checked yet as it’s too dark in the shed to see tonight.
The first track day will be at darley moor as it’s local just as a shake down after the winter,then will try to do Donny and Cadwell as well before the series gets to them,I’ll be wobbling round anyway getting in peoples way at first I’m sure
-
Not much when it comes to mods,standard airbox, free jetting but no other carb stuff,after market exhaust with same bore as original noise limit 105db.Original wheels etc etc.The exhaust system is a brand new delkevic so I need to do a few track days when I’ve got the bike prepped just to see how it performs.
