The carb rubber... The rubber that secures the carb to the head, has snapped on my engine. What others are a direct replacement and from where? It's the outside left cylinder as sitting on the bike 

engine is gsf1200

Mk1 and Mk2 B12's have different carb rubbers, make sure you order the correct one

I've always heard that mk. 1 and 2 rubbers were non-compatible. Putting together a mk.1 b12 at the mo. It came with mk.2 carbs fitted. I had a set of mk.1 carbs to replace them. I know now I should have taken a pic of a set of Mk. 1 and 2 carbs inlet to inlet as there's roughly only 3mm of a difference between spacing. A bit of a warm up with a hairdryer to soften the manifolds and I don't think it matters if you use mk.1 rubbers on mk.2 carbs and vice-versa. The carbs will pop right on. ;)
