Panel buffer
A rubber panel buffer used between bodywork panels and the frame on Triumphs, cataloged 1969-1974.
This is the panel buffer, a small rubber piece that shows up in the Panels and Twinseat section of the parts book for Triumphs across the 1969 through 1974 range. It sits between the bodywork panels and the frame or tank to keep painted surfaces from rattling against metal, doing quiet work that most owners never think about until it goes missing and something starts buzzing on rough roads.

The catalog carries it as 82-9770, with F9770 as the older-style alias for the same part. Buffers like this are cheap insurance against chipped paint and rattles at the mounting points, and they tend to perish or go flat with age, so a tired one is worth checking if you're chasing down a vibration or a scuff mark on a panel.
We don't have more detail on this one beyond its place in the panels and seat hardware, so if you're trying to match it to a specific panel or seat mount on your bike, give us a call and we'll help confirm what you need before you order.
