Hi I have just removed my bashplate as I was doing oil and filter and the rubber piece fell off didnt appear to be stuck at all so I am unsure of it position.I looked in the handbook for to see if i could get some pointer and have put where I assume it goes but looking in the book it has a rear rubber and that is long gone.My questions are 1/do these serve any purpose other than collecting mud and crap ? 2/should i replace the rear one? (I bet its a bloody silly price) And finaly where exactly do they go and should I stick them with somthing ? Thanks in Advance Paul

Stick something in there mate, it helps cushion big knocks from the plate to the crankcase. Ive got some thick rubber matting under my crankcase works better than the originals

hi, like the addict says, it cushions the blow to the case, they are not expensive i had to buy one, just a few quid , stick them on the plate with silocone, if you look on the plate you should be able to see a mark of where they go. hope this helps

I would use thick rubber of a truck mud flap if nothing else.
