dust caps over aftermarket bronze bushings?


DUB

Recommended Posts

The moron that had the bike before me made his own bushings out of plastic. Yeah cool I guess but the dipshit removed the steel collar out of the in side so when I tighten down the arms they lock tight. My question is, Since Im machining out my own collars and at the same time putting bronze bushings in should I allow for the thickness of the dustcaps or am I supposed to eleminate those all together when I run Bromnze bushings?? Please help

Gotta use the dustcaps, they help seal in the grease as well.

 

I admire you making your own...but, for less than 20 bucks, you could buy a set of Ebay as well!
