So do the ebay kickstart rubbers fit a burman kickstart lever?

Do you really want 10?

The same eBay seller has rubbers specifically for the Burman.

Many offer the rubber from the same manufacturer.

(EDIT - interrupted mid-post by the phone)

This one 'looks' more substantial:

Whether they last any longer you'll have to find out.

I've got to be honest the ones I get from the club spares seem to rip quite easily for me.

All the Burman ones rip the end off easily. I've gone through half a dozen or more from various outlets and they all have done the same thing!

The rubber does tend to creep off in use. I think they fail when the closed end 'overhangs' the shaft and there's a shearing effect.
