Swing Arm Bushes

<< < (6/8) > >>

Hmm, struggling to find swing arm collar so if anyone has any suggestions?


Also, have found replacement swing arm at D&K and they suggest is in good and useable order.

I don't know whether that means bushes are in good order?  Might have to ring them and ask.

Oddjob:
The bronze bushes are a common fitment on the 500/550s.

As for the collar, you can try and find a new one, difficult, or maybe think about a roller bearing conversion, made by Tourmax iirc. That’s the way I went. You will need to fit a 550 swinging arm pivot bolt if you have a 500 though as the grease nipples won’t work with the Tourmax due to the way it works and the design of the collar on the Tourmax kit.

florence:
thank you, that is interesting.

My main aim is to fix as easily as possible as I don't want it off the road for any more than a few days.

Also spotted that Julie has bushes so will order

Bryanj:
The collars are available just gone up again and damned expensive

Laverda Dave:
Just a thought but I wonder if these are something Max may be able to manufacture if there is enough demand?
