lost rubber shim, replacement ideas?

[lothodon]

so one of the many times i've ripped the headlight area apart i lost one of the pictured shims used to keep the side panels from vibrating. any ideas on what to use as a replacement?

Electrical tape will do, I'd think.

Get a piece of automotive vacuum hose and cut it length wise

Ended up finding a piece of auto door protector that holds better than the originals.

Where is this piece located? I wanna know if I lost mine since installing my HID. I do hear some vibration.

19. although i believe 14 is the same part as well, just hidden.

i had a plastic vibration that the new parts totally solved.

I googled "YAMAHA FZ8 HEADLIGHT RUBBER THINGIE" and that picture came up...

I'm pretty sure that's fair game, right?

actually it was "FZ8 headlight rubber" ... 14th picture, 2nd one after the lead picture in this thread.
