Actually it was the pre 1966 bikes which didn't use the rubber so ya be sort of correct. ............lm

Good catch, LM. G-Man's bike serial no. indicates he should have the rear rubbers so I didn't want to confuse the answer.

Superb photos - that explains it perfectly. Back in the UK now so I can get on with some fettling. Thanks for all the help so far.

My frame looks like it has had a hard life and at one time the grab rail has been welded on. Additional bolt holes have been drilled in the frame which combined with corrosion and a few cracks were not really helping the integrity of the rear end. In several places brackets have broken off, so I have been busy with the welder, making up parts and filling holes. The PO had powder-coated the frame on top of all sorts of mess so that is having to be stripped in the places I'm working. Only the stop-lamp bracket to be re-created and welded on now - should be ready for paint again soon.
