Is there a knack to getting the tank on without it moving once fitted? Or is this normal for the nc30. Have quite a bit of play up the front once its all fitted.

def got the rubber bit on the end bit that is under the seat? Mine moves a little but thats because i dont have the rubber parts that stop the tank hitting the frame...which i really should get.

Well i never, i didnt know that there was a rubber for that as i dont have one

jamie , it could be the front rubber where it fits into the frame behind the headstock has dropped inside would take tank off and check it. there should be no movement at the front of the tank side to side if its located correctly .

See I have the rubber bit at the back for the seat but nothing at the front, where would the rubber bit at the front fix to? I thought there should be some sort if rubber bit to stop movement at the front.
Thanks.

I got the same problem
I bought the front rubber mount from David silver spares and I have no idea how it fits. Could anyone post a pic of there tank with the front mount fitted?
Thanks

jamie, it fits onto the top of the metal bracket at tank front and between the tank front edge its an awkward bastard to get fitted 9 times out of ten it falls out when reffiting a tank , might be worth taking the tank of the bike and have a look with a torch behind the headstock on the frame had them fall down there myself if not pretty sure someone on here might have a spare lying around they would sell if you put a wanted in the for sale section.

Dave, thanks for your help! Have been out checking that it hasnt decided to slip down anywhere.... it hasn't
Would I be righ in saying its part 10 on here? http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-vfr400r3-199 ... _1400.html

Thanks.

Yeah thats the one, pm Geoff he's bound to have one, get the 2 side ones while your there if you havent got them, part 12

Yeah ordered two of the side ones as I thought this was the problem but they turned up today and didnt make much of a difference. Will give Geoff a PM see if hes got one lying around . Once again thanks for the help guys!
