Tank Cover front mount area

Post by brcree »

What does the front mount pad for thr fuel tank cover look like for a 90 600? I have a track bike 600 and the mount tab on it noe has a long bolt that goes through it. :duh: The bike had a 2000 or 2001 one piece tank on it when I got it.

Hi,
the 92 has two tabs just behind the steering head and they have rubber "D" shaped pads to stop vibration fractures and paint on the frame from being damaged
to the best of my knowledge the '90 is the same all the way thro to 94/95

Looking at this area on the bike....looks as if someone has hacked this mount tab off.............. bonkonhead

Sorry to hear about the hospt. George...hope all will be fine! Will have to figure out how to put some tabs on where the mount was removed. :duh:
