Possible Speedo and tach rubber dampners source 74/75 bikes

[Mikey]

Guys I have been in communication with Paul Csornok at JBM Industries
He does reproduction rubber parts for older motorcycles and airplanes (Welcome to the JBM Industries Home Page) jbmindustries.com/
Anyway I asked him if he would be interested in making the rubber dampners for those 2 years of 650s
His reply was
Hi Mike,
Before I can say one way or another, is this for one bike or do you have need for placing an order for quantity? The amount of time and materials to produce a mold for a single order is not cost effective. I would need to know that there is some kind of market before investing in starting a new product.

The next thing I would need is to see what is involved with the part, so I would need the pictures / schematics as well as the diameter of the holes in the mounting brackets.

Please also note that I work on new projects in the slow months of winter, as summer is too busy.
Best Regards,
JBM Industries

You should read this, you may be able to make a very serviceable replacement yourself.

I just thought I would put it out there
I wasn't expecting a lot of replies seeing how this dampener only is for the 74/75
I'll let him know there is not enough interest in this
And I have also gone the o ring route and it seems fine
