I seen on the do it yourself thread that they make plastic/poly bushings that replace the needle bearings in the swingarm pivot. but i cant find bushings that look like this

the only ones i can find are these and i guess you have to use the stock dust caps on them or something?

the ones pictured are made by a member here and do not require a inner sleeve or the use of outter OEM seals. the ones that are linked utilize the stock inner sleeve, outter sleeve and dust seals. the ones reccomded in the previous post use an aftermarket inner sleeve and omitt the outer seals.

So which ones are the best?

Do you know the members name that makes them?
