I am in the middle of a rebuild and got to the infamous swingarm pivot bolt. I ended up cutting the bolt because the bearings and bushings were shot (bought it this way, so no comments about maintence...). Anyways, I need to replace everything and did some searching on here. I found a thread about urethane or Delrin bushings. Does anyone know who makes these? There was a real old thread about some one wanting people to try them.

Thank you for any information you may have.

I dont know anything about the poly bushings but if you replace everything with pivot works etc... just put anti seize lube on everything and your problems will be over.
