I just spin the footpeg rubbers so that wear is now on the underside . Rubber care or armor all seems to help too .
Should never use Amoral on foot peg rubbers make them slippery one of the reasons they say to never use it on motorcycle seats.
Me too.Sure wish RGM would give options for shipping. FedEx says I'll recieve the package this Monday. Fantastic, yet I'm paying 30 Pound Sterling for this unneeded top priority shipment. Meanwhile, other UK vendors using RoyalMail are getting me my ordered in anywhere from 4 to 12 days at a fraction of that cost.
No option on RGM.Wrong thread ?
I always specify slowest cheapest shipping possible .
I'd settle for a good three or four seasons. The ones in my photos above started showing excessive wear within a few months.I suppose 99% of all purchasers won’t be subjecting their newly rebuilt machines to proper use, so why spec their rubbers to last another 40 years?
Hmmm, well I just placed an order from Morgo in UK and their web order page defaults to RoyalMail. No hiccups but also no shipping confirmation yet...Due to the Royal Mail strike.

Maybe it's over now. It wasn't two weeks agoHmmm, well I just placed an order from Morgo in UK and their web order page defaults to RoyalMail. No hiccups but also no shipping confirmation yet...
Your observations are spot on.hi,
all the rubbers on my British bikes seem to disintegrate before my eyes, be they foot peg rubbers, kick start or the smaller item on centre stands etc. I just can’t believe how poorly made they are.
I find it so frustrating when one can’t buy quality parts.

Rubber used to be made from rubber trees I believe?Maybe 50 years ago they used real rubber, these days they making things cheaper to look the same but in reality not good quality as old and even worst when affected from sun light and heavy footing, we all wish things were made better these days but the more they sell the more money they get out of us, manufactures these days don't want things to last 30 + years.
We live in a throw away world now, nothing last at all.
But that should not be a problem as there are synthetic rubber compounds that are high durability (like modern tires etc). Its just the compounding that is not right for a lot of our parts. My new iso rubbers are too hard compared to stock, yet footrests too soft.Rubber used to be made from rubber trees I believe?
Not so these days
