    Where do these come from?

    I cleaned my 700 TA the other day, that much road grime on it that I had to use the pressure washer.
    Afterwards I found two of these rubber 'bumpers' on the floor.

    Does anybody know what they are for and where they go back?
    I've had a good luck but I can't see where they've come from.
    Cheers

    Karl

    They look like the rubbers off a Givi topbox plate to me, there are 4 of them on top where the box sits. Of course, I could be wrong.

    Do you have a givi top box rack?

    They look like the rubber stops from that.

    Without a reference to size, it is difficult to tell. But my guess would be as suggested the rubber stops for the topbox.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Hmmm, I don't have a 'Givi' top box, but I do have the OEM top box.
    I'll check the top plate later and see if that is where they are from.
    If not from there then I'll have to keep searching.

    If they are from your givi rack and they won't stay in try pulling them through a 6mm washer placed on the underside of the rack. Worked a treat on one if mine when it kept popping out.

    I think that the Honda OEM luggage is actually made by Givi.

    Ithink you may be correct as everyone was right, they are rubbers off the topbox plate! They're now put back in with a little bit of silicon sealant.

    Thanks for that, wish I'd asked before I took the bottom fairing off as I was convinced that was where they had come from!
    Oh well, live and learn!

    Thanks everyone.
