    Rubber tank bushings- needed or not?

    My bike doesn't have any of the rubber bushings that go between the frame and tank. Are they needed?

      Yep, If you don't mind the tank moving. They are rather inexpensive though...

        Don't need them absolutely perhaps. But if you use a tank bag, the weight may push it down to where the tank contacts the frame rail and makes a noise, (from experience) and or rubs a wear mark or worse.
