RUBBER,HEADLAMP MOUNTING EAR TO SHROUD (2 REQ/BIKE)
Rubber grommet fitted between the headlamp mounting ear and fork shroud, two per bike, cuts vibration at the headlamp mount.
This is the rubber grommet that sits between the headlamp mounting ear and the fork shroud, cushioning the point where the headlamp bracket attaches to the front fork. Two are used per bike, one on each side, and they take the place of a hard metal-to-metal contact between the ear and the shroud. Also listed under the older H2208 number, this part shows up in catalogs covering the telescopic front fork assembly from the early 1970s through the late 1970s.

The rubber's job is to cut down on vibration transfer between the fork and the headlamp mount, which keeps the headlamp assembly from rattling loose or transmitting engine and road buzz straight to the shell. Being rubber, these dry out, crack, or go flat over time, so if your headlamp feels loose at the ears or you're doing a fork rebuild, it's worth checking these along with the rest of the mounting hardware.
Sold as a pair, since the catalog calls for two per bike.
