Post by SR76RM370 »

Hi new the forum. I have a 1976 RM370 and I’m currently putting triple clamps and forks off of a 1979 RM400. My question is does anyone know what rubber mounts off of a current model bike and year will fit in the clamps? That’s the last piece of the puzzle that I haven’t been able to find. Thanks!!!!

If he is right, you owe him a cold beer or a batch of fresh cookies!

Thank you very much. I actually have a seat of those rubber mounts. The prob is they only sit inside the triple clam about half way and have lots of movement. That’s why I was hoping someone has possibly used rubber mounts out of a modern bike that would fully seat into the triple clamp. Thanks for your input.

The online parts diagram shows that you need two on each side for a total of four. On each side, one is from the top of the upper triple tree & one is from the bottom of the upper triple tree.

Alternatively you could go with a rigid mounting with these aftermarket bushings:
