Default Rubber Gromets?

Anyone have a source for the rubber gromets that the posts on our fairings push into?
I see them for sale with the complete bolt kits but I don't need all the bolts. I can get any metric I need a work. I've checked eBay but didn't find any that where marketed for the F2 so if somone knows the size and style that would work too.
Thank
Jeff

Those are one of those items best just bought at the Honda dealer.
Trying to buy them used, they are difficult to find and likely they're as hard
and cracked as the ones you're trying to replace.

Thank ern. I figured just being a standard rubber grommet that someone must make them for other applications as well and perhaps I could pick them up for a dollar or two. 4 dollars is steep for molded rubber but I'll go that route if I can't find them anywhere else.

Btw i'm not replacing I ordered new plastics and I'm missing most from the old set. PO was a fan of zip ties which drives me nuts. I've been trying to justify getting new plastics since I bought it but the ones on it looked fine just where mounted terribly. Thankfully the old lady tipped it over sitting on it. Didn't break anything but scratched it a bit. She didn't dare compain when I dropped the 500 on new ones after that.

I've tried just plain round rubber grommets, wasn't satisfied with that route.
Hard to get them to stay in place and didn't hold the posts in place, properly.

It cost about $25 bucks to replace them all on my F3 and was worth the lack of
hassle.
