was just searching cb250n gear linkage on ebay (need the splined bit for my rearsets) and lots of these rubbers popped up. bad news is theyre £10 ish a pair and I’d be fairly certain theyre pattern (didnt actually look) on the flip side of that it is possible that someones bought the original mould from whoever made them for honda. when I worked in injection moulding (20 years ago) the moulds could be anywhere from £40,000 to £120,000 so you have to have a market to make whatever parts you make viable. saying all that the pattern parts (to make them viable) often cut a very big corner and use a cheaper compound of rubber.

Someone was looking in to having the rubber frame bushes reproduced some years ago and the chap did invest a lot of time and research into it but to my knowledge it came to nothing which was a shame as these parts are NLA from Honda.

as I mentioned its the cost of the mould. sometimes they do a test run on new products with a single component mould (much cheaper to machine) the problem then is that production becomes very slow and time consuming which obviously adds to the cost and again makes it un-viable.
just a small point worth noting here anyone who does fit new rubbers I would thoroughly degrease the linkage and re assemble with castor based grease (easy to recognise its usually red) as it is very likely that the grease protecting the linkage is eating the rubber.
