Rear Wheel cush drive rubbers for aftermarket wheels.

With the Dymag wheels, the rear cush drive set up differs greatly from the std TRX set up.
I purchased a new set of Active rubbers at a cost of about $100 and they lasted 6,000km. Which is about the same Km's you'll get from the originals. Dymag wanted about $150.
So I went to a local manufacturer who makes suspension bushes for cars and for the same price Dymag wanted to charge me,
I now have a mould made and my first set of 6 dampers.

He took a durometer reading on the original rubbers and I had duro, compression/rebound readings from a fellow in the U.S. who was making them but is no longer in business.
So here the result after 500Km and 1 hard trackday thrown into the mix and I'll monitor them every 500km.
