Everyone who owns an early K100 or K75 probably has seen the rubber Bump Stop for the Center and side stands:
These are fine as long as they work. But you see the two rubber nipples that hold them in place. To me these seem to always get ripped off leaving the bumper dangling and of no use. I've tried gluing them in place to no avail. And a new one is USD $32. which sorry seems a rip off to me. So when this last happened with Silver and I lost the bumper I found an old one which had had both rubber nipples ripped off and modified it by drilling a very small hole through the rubber and using 5mm. screws inserted through the holes and held in place with epoxy. The heads of the screws are buried in the rubber. Here they are
Hopefully these will last a bit longer.
best regards
