[dsn_klr650] klr radiator shrouds rubbing tank...fixed!
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2000 7:09 am
Speaking of this issue, I just bought 2 plumbing black
rubber washers, about 1/2 in Daimeter from Home Depot.
One of these on each top faring screw between the
faring and the tank has improved the situation a lot.
If your in Canada, Canadian tire has better prices on
these washers, marginally.
