  • Where's Waldo? (elusive part)

    I put new tires (Dunlop K404's) on my LG Monday. While working on the rear I had a rubber piece disintigrate.
    It's the rubber piece that isolates the rear caliper bracket where it attaches (not bolted) to the swingarm.
    I can't find it in any schematic on BikeBandit.
    I reassembled and am riding the bike anyway and everything 'seems' ok. Do I really need this and if so, where would I find one?
    If need be I can get a rubber grommet from a hardware store.

    There's a group of rubber parts on e-bay right now. I bought a LG from the guy selling them and he's a very nice fellow. His user name on e-bay is tauz. If the part you need is not in the group e-mail him and he will probably send it to you if you pay the postage.

      Mine has been missing for years, and I never got too concerned about it. It's just a damper for the torque plate.
