Gas Tank Bolts And The Lil Rubber Thingy...

Gas Tank Bolts And The Lil Rubber Thingy..., Need some help identifying bolts

I did the 929 spring replacement this last week. Actually should read two months... since thats when I broke the bike apart and started working on it. Anyhoo more pictures on that in the next day or so in that particular thread...

I got everything back together and I am trying to find the tank bolts... the two that bolt the top of the tank and the two that hold the bottom of the tank below the seat... plus trying to figure out how that big square rubber thingy goes back in/under to cover the batterbox from water/dirt. I think the top two are black cap bolts but the ones I was starting to put in seemed a little small.

I started two projects at once with two different bikes and I think I threw the bolts back in my big "box" of parts. Can someone throw up a picture or the size of those bolts and how the big rubber thingy goes back in?

The bike is a yellow Y2k VFR 800.

Many thanks!

44 & 46 for the tank bolts, rubber thingy is 24!

Dude your one smart cookie!! Never even thougth of the parts fiche!

The tank bolts near the steering head are long and thin with a #8 hexagonal head. The ones for the other end below the seat are a larger di�meter and shorter length, I think a #10 hex head. The large square rubber thingy is not #25 in Baileyrock's link to the breakdown... #25 according to that drawing is a metal washer/sheath all in one. Like a cylinder of metal with a washer tacked to one end. I'm not sure what big square rubber thingy you are referring to is... but I'm sure Bailey's link will help you identify where it goes...

Thanks! This worked... knowing the size of the head helped me remember what I needed. I had put them in a bag but did not label it. So once I found the bag and confirmed the size of the bolt heads... I was good to go! (Taco Bueno hand motion here)

Thanks all for your help!
