Title: More '71 125cc SD Inquiries
Post by: stoo_man on August 09, 2001, 10:29:00 PM
Now swingarm bushings. As we say here in TX, they seem "wallered out". Anyone ever use brass bushings made to spec? And if so, to what ID and OD? Or...is a little "play" supposed to be in the swingarm linkage? Doug told me this would be the most fun I have ever had restoring a old bike. I have given up on the engine and a more rebuildable example MUST be requisitioned. Meanwhile I concentrate on the chassis, first things first. Thus the inquiry. Peace....Stoo

Have you checked with all our Penton Parts people?   You are better off if you can find the bushings, and they press in and out real easy, even using a vise.   There just might be engines available too!   Ask me!
