FWIW - I bought some rubber parts from Jackie at SUMO Rubber and they came in good order and appear to be of the same dimensions and type of rubber as the OEM parts.
Well recommended.

Thank you Pete, your recommendation means a lot!
If you need any other parts, let me know, even if we don't have them in stock, I can see if we can get them reproduced.

Hi, yes, we had to amend the pricing policy after Brexit. Basically all EU customers are now expected to pay additional VAT on all products from the UK and with our old prices, we couldn't complete. So we decided to give late "Christmas present" to everyone and took majority of our prices down by 10-20% to compensate.
The unfortunate result is that we had to raise the threshold of Free delivery to 120euro. Sorry!
No worries. Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware. Didn't stop me from ordering.
Just a note about Sumo Rubber.
I ordered a variety of parts from them for several bikes Thursday at 0100 Zulu. I would think that it would take some time to gather up the items but I already have a Royal Mail (very cool) tracking number . So far so good.

Received the package from Sumo yesterday. Quicker than I expected. Sent by Royal Mail. pretty cool. parts look good and as a bonus I'm excited that I now have the crank seals for the RZ350.
@Jim hopefully in the somewhat near future I can give you a better comparison between the RD/RZ and the R3

Hi guys,
just so you know... We have now cut our ties with the PGM supplier, and we have decided to go our own way. We are slowly selling up the old stock and replacing it with new parts from other suppliers. Please note, that due to this supply chain change, some parts might go temporarily out of stock. There is now a notification system in place, where an email will be generated as soon as we get new stock. For those parts available from Yamaha, we have a direct importer from Japan, for the obsolete parts, we will use an alternative supplier or get our own manufacturing involved.
We are determined to make your restoration project easier so for those based in the EU, we have an IOSS integration, where you pay your EU VAT directly to us saving on the custom's handling charges and delivery times.
We hope that by making this clear-cut, we will be able to provide more quality rubber parts and better value for money.
Thank you all who support us and helped us so far get where we are!

Hi Jackie,
I ordered this sight glass from you last week sometime. Haven't heard one way or the other.... will it be coming anytime soon or will it be delayed?

Thanks Jackie!
Yep... that's where it went. Fixed that for future correspondence.
Its been a long time
Doesn't know nothing.
It seems Sumo Rubber have disappeared? What a shame.
that's indeed a shame, they had good parts.
Yes, unfortunately Sumo ceased trading last year. As a past customer, they sent me an email with the news and a link to their clearance sale - I bought a few small items.
