G: Gearbox (Twin) Kick start rubber

[Michel]

Hi everybody.
I am looking for a rubber supplier for the Burman kick of the Comet Serie C and (if possible) the Albion kick of the Comet Serie A.
Can you give me websites (except VOC Spare).
Thank you.

I think you mean Burman for the Series A Comet as well.

There was no rubber fitted to the kickstart on a "C" Comet with a standard Burman gearbox.

You are right, but I prefer to fit one because It's easier when weather is wet.
And about Burman pre-war (Comet) and Albion post-war (Grey Flash on the road) ?

I had a lot of very bad experiences with Draganfly. Definitely not recommended.
Have a look at BSA forums.

Most of the classic ones come from one UK supplier anyway

And they are all crap. Kickstart and gear lever rubbers last about 3 months on my Sunbeam S7 which is my ride to work machine. The old ones last for years before they need to be replaced.

Yes I think we come back to the composition of modern black rubber components they seem to have so much carbon in them the trials seats seem to crack in no time and black soot seems to run out of components mounted on bodywork when washed. Is there no standard marking system?

They tend to slip off when kick starting as well.
