CB 750s not selling?

--- Quote from: Mr_Sheene on December 11, 2017, 12:17:11 PM ---May I go off at a tangent for a moment? According to something I read from 'Nurse Julie' the other day, this is permitted. Is it possible to restore rubber parts? In addition to the CB750, I also have a GT750 awaiting new crank seals. The rubber unions either side of the carbs would make a good alternative to Chobham Armour. In a copy of Practical Sportsbike several years ago, an article said they had soaked rubber parts in a chemical solution that had softened them. In fact they overdid it and made them too soft but the point is, it softened the rubbers. I doubt that this is a secret, so why do so many members replace rubbers, as mentioned above by 'Trigger'? Is it to do with the elasticity of the rubber or degradation?

I think you have the wrong end of the stick, I was referring to plastic parts like headlight bowl, the kill switch ( had one that just fell in half as I turned it), side panels, chain guard, early air filter boxes, early clock cases and rubber parts such as clock mounting rubbers, headlight ear rubbers, tank rubbers, battery box rubbers, tail light mounting rubbers, seat pan rubbers and so on. You can't soften a rubber that has perished  ;) Even with Wintergreen that doesn't work  :(
