Spot the part

[dubster]

Put her all back together again (1150gs) and this little rubber jobbie is lying on garage floor
Can anyone identify it for me please ?

From rear caliper ?

 

[Captain Black]

Looks like it fits in the frame somewhere for the wiring or brake lines to go through ?

From rear caliper ?

I agree, it looks like it could be from the rear brake calliper.

 

[dubster]

Checked rear brake and is not from there. Agree it must be something for wires to pass through, but where ?

Could be just spare? And there is 2 rubber grommets on rear caliper slider, have you got 2 off them on

 

[dubster]

Think I've worked it out... maybe this one on the frame next to the tank electrical connector in the photo?

What does it do? Looks like nothing routes through it...

 

[Captain Black]

Is it the rubber lug for the plastic black plastic panel ?

 

[Grim Rider]

It isn't that - lost enough of them to know!

 

[beemer pimp]

No that looks like for body work to seat in

 

[Captain Black]

What job /things did you take off the bike ?

 

[dubster]

Yes you're right it's not the side panel rubber, hadn't recognised it was that from the photo

Full 12000 mile service, rebuilt TBs, final drive's been off, tidied up a bit of wiring under the instruments. That's all.

I'm sure it must be somewhere on frame as there is rust colouration in the 'crack' of the rubber IYKWIM

It cold be of clutch cable where meets lever, not sure is yours cable or hydraulic ?

Hydraulic, not sure where you mean but haven't been near the clutch lever.

Had the starter motor off too, but not sure that helps.

Bit of a mystery.

Thanks all for replies.

Looking at it that groove/ recess in the middle must sit in the frame somewhere ? Either a hole or a u shaped cut that is a similar width ( obviously ) to the recess in the grommet. Can only be wiring loom ? Brake line ? Fuel line or cables surely ?
It's getting on my chuff now and it isn't even my bike !

I'll strip my GS down until I find it..

Steptoe will know but he's been stuffing cake all day so is beached .,

Is it a lost part that got dislodged somehow?
Noticed the cover on the front wishbone bearing was missing on my bike...it defiantly had one when I bought it. Fitted a new one then when I removed the tank a while ago to do the fuel filter there it was, wedged in behind the wiring loom. Just a thought

Is it in two separate parts ?

The "bottom half" looks like one part of the two part petrol tank mounting bush where the tank is bolted to the frame.

Not sure what/where the top part is from.

 

[Deleted account 220427001]

is it from the petrol tank where the bolt goes through ?
