Dog bone bushes ???
Permalink  
 


Have just been on to Wemoto and the dog bone bushes are not available as pattern parts the slinky ones are for the swing arm bushes only and have been quoted £95.46 for the bushes pins and seals to do the dog bones and that is not including the knuckle to frame bearing, so ouch that hearts some say get a new knuckle but you still need the dog bone to swing arm bush so not cheap which ever way you go to do the job proper ,pissed off , and just as I thought things were going well ,good job I dont drink or I would be pissed as a ????? by now ,looks like it is going to have to go on the back burner for a while till funds will stretch that far

 Chears Nofy boy, but as I look at it if I get the knuckle from you that will have the bush at one end of the dog but the other end bushes are in the swing arm and are worn as well so need replacing so there's £47 and your £25 makes it £72 so may as well spend the extra £23 and have all new as half new and half part worn ,sulk sulk sulk ,but thanks for the offer mate ,but you know what its like ,a true blue Yorkie does not like parting with money with out a whinge and whine and a sulk and I am a poor pensioner to boot, and according to one sat close by says ( you could sulk for England you) don't know what she means by that at all ??

I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you don't buy it someone else will. Failure to that i'm sure NORFE will use it eventually.

Oh I think your right there Cal, old Norfy boy will find a home for it I am sure , and I am grateful that he is out there with a shed full of gear and a good knowledge of product ,to a new boy like me that is nice to have, and as it says under his name Guru !!!! ha ha , he can Guru for me any time ,I had a look at what he was offering and it looks fine but one pin two bushes and two seals short so as ever it all boils down to the dreaded spondoolies , it would save £23 pound I know , but I am hoping the bike will be a long term thing, so may as well spend the extra and have all new , and think that with the use that it will get with me and plenty of grease gun it will last me out

No chance of that Norfy Boy she would not let me , besides its too close to the IOM TT and have Donington tomorrow then Scarborough next Sunday and then Oulton park BSB ,so looks like little bike in the corner that goes MING MING MING is going to have to wait till after we come back from the TT and sell the XL to restock the spondoolies
