I found these on ebay, they replace the bushings/bearings/seals, anyone ever use these?

do not see any reason they would not work very well. A-arms use the same thing. Going to get some for my R very soon.

yea those look pretty good, who knows how long they will last but i think i will be getting a set of them, the stock oem needle bearings are nice but they dont take punishment to well. these look nice ill be getting 2 sets of them

I wonder if anyone has used these and have had good results?

I know one thing, that will prevent any type of seizure in the swingarm bolt...

i believe those are from x.system on this site...I bought a set but have not installed them yet... I will say that he seems like a stand up guy and I had no issues with the transaction. x.system can give you more info on them, also look here:

They seem like they would be a good product. I've read X Systems posts discussing these and he seems like a stand up guy. I doubt you'll have any problems with them but I bet if you did he would take care of it. No worries.;)

X.system is a great guy!! I have a set of these, and install was perfectly smooth!! Fast shipping,and a great product. Ya couldnt ask to meet a nicer guy!!

are they Delrin bushings? Delrin is pretty hard plastic that HSD (strong arms) runs in his a-arms. the only trouble is having to keep up with lubing the pivot bolt. The delrins do wear, however it takes a year of hard riding. I think the swinger would put a ton more stress on em than a set of a-arms though.

would be nice to hear a report after some seat time

does anybody have a # for this guy need some sooner than I thought.wanting to get some this week.



Thanks

send a pm to x.system, he is a real nice guy he will help you out. I bought mine off ebay but he was the one selling them.

Havent installed them yet but the price is right so even if they do wear out a little faster replacing them is going to hurt as much. will get back with some results asap got mine from X of ebay too

im using helm enterprises plastic bushings . a-arm, frt. shock,swinger. they are great!!! i drilled holes according to instructions and added grease fittings.the original owner of my r had them in for 6 years before i bought it. they would have lasted longer if he added grease fittings!!! the only place they wont hold up is in the rear shock linkage. he is a good dude .much cheaper than stock. :macho

those were on a 88r I got about 2 weeks back. I tore it down and saw them and no bearings anywhere. They seamed like they could be good.
