Mike, the plastic bush dimensions are rather irrelevant, as they change when fitted. Best thing to do is measure the inside diameter of your swinging arm and the outside diameter of the collar which which the pivot bolt fits into. Although , I'm not sure brass would be the best material to make them from, phoshour bronze would be much better due to it's oil retaining properties, and these are readily available on e bay from germany for less than £15.00 a pair delivered, and I use them so I know they fit and work well

Yep, they're the ones! Make sure before fitting them that you soak them for 24-48 hours in engine oil (clean oil!) or better still EP90 gear oil. This is because phosphor bronze is porous and will last even longer if lubricated before fitting!

Thanks for the tip!

I have fitted loads of those bushes from Frank in Germany. They are very good quality but, press them in. Do not use a hammer as these damage easy.

I'm going to refresh this topic. Got new bushings supplied by PO with bike, but they are too small (OD) so I can just push them inside swingarm by thumb, morever have play over the brand new collar.

Can someone recommend where I should buy proven quality? Is it still from twowheelsfrank from Germany?

As you are in mainland Europe, i would suggest and recommend you buying them from Frank. If you were in UK, I would suggest you buying them off my Ebay page 😀😀😀

So twowheelsfrank is Frank you mentioned, right?

[Nurse Julie]

I would check your swing arm Erny. Those bushes are the same as you will get if ordered from Frank or myself. They are the correct ones for your bike.
