Usually you find the collar more worn than the bushes, the early one is still available, but bloody expensive, the later one is not available but you can use the early one, preferably with the bolt having a grease nipple at each end rather than the one in middle of swing arm

That's been my experience as well. Managed to find a couple of the precision steel rods when they were cheaper.

I could increase the maximum size allowed. We have never busted the storage limit so I’m willing to risk it.

What size should I use?

RAW images from my son’s wedding in December ran to about 18Mb each (there were 600 of them).

I could raise it to 5Mb. Would that be enough?

Thanks Johnny,
I'll give it a try - I was just out on the 550 today and wanted to post a bit about the trip.

Ian, I had exactly the same problem, I posted on here maybe about 3 to 4 weeks ago. The easiest way I found round it was to screen shot the pics and post the screen shot, there was quite a few suggestions on here to get round it too. Annoying!😡

A bit of a head scratcher - not trying do doubt your ability - are you sure when you fitted  the main shells in the correct  main bearing positions as number 1 main is then on your right when inverted.

Hi folks,
I've been using the picture resizing facility when posting but it seems to have disappeared now.  I usually take pics with iphone or ipad which are often over the 3Mb limit and in the past you were able to choose a smaller size after you had selected the desired image.  Is there an easy way around this?

Yes you do Steve. They are dust seals and they also have a rubber seal on the inside to keep the swing arm grease in.

I have a set of the bronze bushes from Julie I’m about to install.
Do I still need the caps, item 15 in the picture?
