Swinging arm bushes

Forums

Has anyone had anything to do with "Ertalite"plastic bushes, made in Australia. They are advertised on fleabay. for just shy of ninety quid. They are slightly bigger than stock and do away with the O rings as no lube is needed. Anything known about them?

Not read any feedback on these other than what's in the listing, £90 is steep for testing when my current set have lasted well for 25 years on a regular annual diet of EP140. As the original bushes are made from oilite once soaked in oil they only need a refresh annually, so add oil annually and once leaked out the Bush will retain enough oil until next year.

You are probably right but, I was just curious. I may have another go at mine and be a bit more gentle when reaming them.

Best recent mod I have done on the swingarm was fitting clamps around the thin walled sleeve tube the pivot bar runs in.
