T350 cush drive modification

Hey all, been a little over a year since i’ve been on here. I disassembled my T350 last year to give it a detailed cleaning/polish and a few new parts here and there, but life got in the way and it got put on the back shelf. It desperately needed new rubber cush drives and OEM NOS cush drive prices are ridiculous (of course). I am not doing a full restoration, it’s going to be a rider not a show bike; otherwise i would buy the proper OEM part. I may buy some cush drives for another model bike that’s a similar size and modify them to fit, i’ve done it with several dirt bikes in the past. My other option is off my parts T350 but it’s probably no good like all the other rubber parts from sitting outside for 40+ years. Let me know you guys experiences and thoughts about it

Hey - been through the same thing with my T350 and ended up buying a reproduction set of drive rubbers from this company, by way of an eBay seller:

I didn't see anyone selling those on eBay now, but they've held up fine over the past year and ~1000 miles of riding. $50 isn't cheap but it was better than OEM prices, as you said.
