I cut my own rubber spacers out of 5/16 fuel line and use foam packing mat for under the hauges.

I briefly searched without any luck. I ended up crudely cutting my own out of closed cell foam tape. I got some scraps from the local truck accessories company, they use it for camper top installs, it really sticky one side. It’s kinda of a hack job but functional and never seen unless the gauges are pulled. I had to replace mine as I had the gauge bracket powder coated
I work construction and have seen similar stuff used under roof top HVAC units. If you have any new construction in your neighborhood stop and ask.
Just some leads on cheap material
If anyone has a lead on factory cut replacements I’m all ears

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationAnother possible option is to get the meter dampers from another model. The ones from a 1000-CSR or 1000P police model might work with some trimming or finagling. The police bike dampers might be available from the dealer.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I would suggest using open cell foam sheet. I think the main foams are 5 mm thick, sticky one side. The dots are 2 mm thick. You can buy the sheet on amazon.
