Hi there I bought a set from e-bay but the guy only sent me 5 instead of 6
Does anyone have a serviceable spare I can buy. The ones I bought were early ones with the locator tang on the side.
It can be a early or later one with the tang in the middle as it is going in a Lester rear wheel.(holes for both types)
Thanks Trent

I bought a repro set from Greg Claus, but they seem awfuly hard compared to OEM Kawasaki ones.
Maybe he would sell you just one?
If not Im sure someone has a pile of them somewhere.
If its a bit loose do the inner tube build up trick.

I don't know about Y'all, but again Repodecals has a whole set for 59 bucks, Seems fair to me and just do them all. What I notice is the description says H2B/C so I'd double check with them - not sure if H2/A is different....

Who has tried those?
Are they hard as a rock like Gregs?

Looks like the side tang is the later H2 type. Anyway if anyone has 1 of either type serviceable spare I really need one Thanks Trent.

Sorted now, the seller replied to me saying he found one he left out and will send it to me...

Well tell me friends. Other than the rubber falling apart what would one notice when they get bad and need to be replaced? What are the signs of the part needing to be replaced without looking at them?

There would be "play" in the rear hub which would cause the bike to have a slight time lag and sudden take up under hard acceleration.
If they are in good condition it is really tight fit to get the cush drive cover plate on and very difficult to get off as there is a push fit into the dampers if in good condition.

Slop between hub and wheel rotation.
