Has anyone used anything other than the rubber supplied?

Mine isn't very subtle and doesn't sit well on the cut out in the middle for the legshields. I was hoping someone had any ideas as to a better sollution.

try the rubber door seal from a scrap car- cheap as chips down your local scrap yard.

Try and get a narrow one- have used it before in a different application and it covers a multitude of sins.

That's what I always did on my old Lammies Danger but I was hoping for a better rubber. I've just done with what I've got. Thanks anyway.

I thought that the Viet supplied one was the same as the Vespa one, it's far better than the rubber that comes with the indian ones. The issues I had with mine was that by the time I'd trimmed enough off the toolbox for it to fit flush there wasn't enough of a gap around the area where the brackets are so it doesn't want to stay in place. Maybe there's a specific glue that can be used to bond the rubber to the metal. Brackets that come separately to be positioned after you get the shape right would have helped too.
