New Hood to Bib Rubber (1 Viewer)

[B y r o n]

Well the other day I finally got fed up with the look of the hood cushion rubber.

These are original from '73 so replacement after 42 years isn't too bad. I still had some 3/16" rubber left over from my fuel tank modification. I cut the rubber into two 1/2" x 10" and ground tappers on the ends.

Installation was simply a matter of threading the new piece through the slots.

So now I don't have to look at worn out cushions and the best part is I didn't need to spend any additional money to do it.

Very nice use of left-over parts--I like this idea

Pretty much the same thing, only I cut up one of the many rubber bungees I have.

After about a year of wheelin I would tear up the rubber and have to replace it again. I ended up using round chair leg sliders instead and it has held up for a long time. For just cruising down the road though that will work great!
