Rapture Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Having trouble installing the bushings on a lowering bar. They are SO tight! something doesn't feel right. Ive tried pressing one in with the vice but could only push it in a few mm. Surely they cant be this tight a fit? Kinda make the grease nipple redundant. Can anyone shed some light?

sprinklerman Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Buy the one I have for sale. It already has good bushings in it. Save yourself the trouble Sent from a van down by the river 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Grind down the chrome on the inside of the link, tape the outside so you don't mess up the chrome that will show. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Put bushing in freezer, heat link. In there like swimwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 There are so many junk lowering links out there. Yours being one of them. I bet that bushing would go in before they chromed it..... Also, it's kinda bogus to add zerks, but put a bushing in that has no way to let the grease all the way through to the bolt. Just bass akward! Like savage said, get the chrome out of there. Grind it, ream it, drill it, whatever. It's probably better to just send them their shit back and buy a nice one that has nice brass bushings already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Or buy a factory Warrior link and lower the bike discreetly. It has bushings that fit and zerks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ok so I guess its just poorly made. I thought it would be ok as they have sold over 200 on ebay. 100% fb. Also it's just ally not chrome.... I polished it up on arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
