no

bearings and bushings wear out....

what makes you think that theirs won't.....their word :huepfenlol2:

Preventive maintenance......replace the bearings and rubber bushings every 25-30k and align and all will be well :2vrolijk_21:

I'm with Brian on this one.  I changed out my swingarm bearings at 20K, had visible play. Now have 48K on bike and had a wobble in MV.  Gonna make the change at next rear tire change shortly

About that 36mm situation.  With Bitubos, the only thing I can use is a socket or open end.  Nothing else will fit due to the larger size of the lower eyelet.

The Arnott's are even bigger! I have the Bitubos sitting on a shelf, curious, sure enough - smaller then the Arnott's.

I can't use a socket without removing the lower bolt. The special wrench .........................................

Well - any decision about whether to remove the swing arm and replace the bushings was decided last night.

Saw the other thread, bummer, hope it all works out.

On the Tracula though, when we were all doing Traxxions and 440's I did the True Trak and went for the whole deal including Tracula.

The 06 SEUC is rock solid now, however I can't attribute how much each upgrade contributed as all were done at the same time with 3,000 miles or so on the bike.

I can tell you the Tracula made the swing arm pretty stiff but handling is great and rear steer is definitely not an issue.

What the hell is a few bucks with all we put in these machines anyway?  I would do the Tracula again and still may on the Nanner.

I think Howie did the bronze bushing and bearing thing, but I never heard the results

I always liked NJ pizza, and Philly may have invented the Philly cheese steak but NJ perfected it! That's the two things I miss the most from NJ since moving to Colorado. They are starting to get good pizza, guys from NJ. But cheese steaks are still a joke!

So, I have no parts yet - decided to take out the bushings without a press. Fairly simple. With stuff I had either laying around or in the toolbox I was able to remove the bushings without a press.
I have a press available at my buddies shop, but it is a 13 mile ride one way and then I would have to hang out for awhile..........
