[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 32558, member: 60"] This is not completley a Vincent thread but its my opinion the general quality of rubber used on classic motorcycles and cars has gone to pot over the last 5 years here are my findings rubber wiring ties 1 year and they are cracked or broken the straps on my skitsu rev counter one season and I have to renew them rubber surrounds on lights and reflectors on my kit car black carbon exudes when washing, cracking apears after one year (car kept in garage and low mileage every year) I am sure twas not like this in yester year are there any tests at point of purchase that may ease my pain? Is it just another unavoidable sympton of eastern manufacturing using sub standard material? or is it those damm greens forcing us to change specifications to save the one legged green billed eider duck?
