Any ideas where I can buy carburetor vacuum port rubber caps?
Mine have fell off or been taken...!!!
USA are selling them, but I really want to buy from UK.
Thanks in advance.

Or use some pieces of rubber tubing with some screws in one end

Maybe on a Ural or a Davidson!!!

They should be available at any auto supply store.

Cheers

It you're talking about no 14 in this diagram then ring your local friendly BMW dealer and ask them for part number 13 54 7694924. I'm sure they're not a massive cost if a US dealer lists them at $1.20

Thanks BMble... Motorworks had them, so got 4, just in case someone is nicking them off the bike.

Mine got stolen a few years back. I made some little 'Z' plates from stainless strip, held in place under the jubilee clamp; not lost any since.

I don't get it.
Rubber caps got stolen? Why? Do they have a value on the black market?
Is the russian mafia involved in this?

I suspect spiteful, juvenile minded kleptomaniacs. Consider how many people have had tyre valve caps stolen.
