Yeah I saw them but they look different?
My frame has 2 bolt holes for the rubber but the photos of the rubbers show only 1 bolt hole?
Thanks for looking though :thumb:

I think the no bolt ones would probaby fit as they are more square and shorter?

they are for the older tanks, newer ones have the bolt that i have seen. my 89 didnt have one, didnt notice it until later that i needed one, but now i has a 08 tank on it so i picked one up, and the little rubber pieces that go on the sides of the tank.

Yes mines an 89 as well and I dont have the side pieces either?

The front rubber is the same. Newer ones have a hole for a bolt so they don't fall off when you remove the tank.
If you can, get the newer one OR use really good glue.
You can drill and tap a hole for the mounting screw.

Cool thanks
Just it looked rounder at the tank end so I thought it may be different but will go ahead and purchase a newer one then :thumb:

That's what I did for Phenix! Once I saw there was that difference - I used the new one then drilled and tapped the hole.
I have extras if you want to drive over and pick up one. We can even install it (What? Too far to drive? Bike won't float across the Pacific?)

Since you like painted cats.....
