If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

I am looking for two sets of the little rubber cushions that clip to the fuel tank edge in the steerung stem cutout area to cushion the tank from the hinged lid vibrations. I looked on the fuel tank fuche on partsoutlaw.com, & this partis nit even shown in the fiche. Does anyone have a source for these, or a tip or suggestion on a good substitute? I put some 1/8" thick foam hvac insulation tape under thehingedlid to hold it off the filler cap, but still getying vibrations on the wife's 77 gs750. Mine are there, but deteriorating.

Thanks
 
Still dealer available. There were two types..depending on the lid. One lid had two holes for the pointy style rubber bumpers to clip into them..much like the rubber bumpers for the center stand click into the hole. The other style were U shaped rubber things that layed over the seam of the tank on each side of the front of the lid. If you need the lay over type, use a little adhesive on them so they don't peel back if they stick to the lid when you open it. And adjust the latch a little so the spring is making some force against the lid..or stretch the spring a little..either way works.
