I have an OEM, spindle-type kicker pedal for my 1970 XLCH, as well as a NOS rubber. The rubber is still sealed in the factory plastic bag and still supple.
I worked at a Harley dealership in the early 1970's and I recall that these rubbers used to become loose fairly quickly (within a couple of years) and would routinely spin on the on the pedal/spindle. We used to use Seal-All to adhere them, and I know it's still made. But who knows if it still has the same strength as it did, or if it's been regulated down to a lesser performance. I currently use a ThreeBond adhesive called 'Griplock' for handgrip rubbers with very good luck. However, it sets up as a cured elastomeric so I question it's strength for use on a foot pedal rubber. Can anyone recommend a strong adhesive for this application?
Thanks...
