SO they did fix the problem? We were keeping the chain adjusted to the minimun spec from the owners manual, which I believe took out our axle bearing. and by the damage on the sprocket side of the swing arm pivot bearing, ifigured the chain being to tight had something to do with it but you could clearly see the void in that tube added to the damage.

I would sure like to put a couple grease zerks in there for those bearings though

Is there a better solution than the stock parts readily available right now?

OK its been 11 years since these were first installed. Zero wear and just a very slight amount of deformation from where the bushing was not supported by the inner hole in the swingarm. I will stop at my local machine shop and get and estimate for a run of these. I might change the design to get rid of the outer seal but it might cost more because of the larger size of bar stock to make the tube. I hope tony remembers what plastic these were made of. LOL
