Hi all

Just got a new pair of ORA front arms and was wondering what you guys have paid for new rubber bushes. I know you can get blue print ones or Suzuki, i think there is another? I think i saw someone say about £10-£15 each. Anyway, i will probably go for Blue Print ones. I have read the stories about how they arent as durable as Suzuki ones but i bet Suzuki one arent cheap. TBH i would love to go for polybush but they are a bit exspensive for me at the moment.

Cheers

Nobby

Nobby,
I got mine recently from Martin, but I haven't fitted them yet, rubber/steel more flexible than polybush I believe.

I bought Super-pro PU bushes ( which, incidentally are the only PU bushes I rate). Can't remember how much they cost, but didn't think it was a frightening amount!

I wouldn't waste my money on rubber bushes. I just got polybushes from Jimnybits they are a doddle to fit without a press, will last 1'000'000 times longer, and the flex is excellent, they are not as hard as you would think as they are designed to flex.

I was thinking of just spending the extra to get super pro. I have super pro castor correction bushes in at the moment and you are right, realy easy to fit and change if needed. Pushed mine in with a piece of threaded bar and a few washers ;) On the flip side i could easily get the use of a press to push in rubber one's. But again i have seen stories of them failling after not that long. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

Just out of interest what do you guys think would be the best option? I know what supergaz thinks :laugh:
