Randy,
I raised the question of alternative front rubber mounts recently but received no response. I'm sure they are out there.
Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement, 8mm ID, 20mm OD, width 15mm or longer. When googled, dozens come up but only identify the bike model they suit and not the dimensions.
The front rubbers seem to fail first and would benefit from being longer. I intend to try this, making a new through shaft, if necessary and see how they go. Brian.
