Hi, Anyone have any tricks or sources for the front fork bushes? These look like they are pressed into the lower sleeve, right at the top underneath the fork oil seals. Mine are a Matt grey colour. Clymer says 0.5mm clearance otherwise replace.
I've just had me forks rechromed, New seals and headstock bearing cups and bearings are brand new custom made. In short the whole front end should be solid.
Now, when I grab the front wheel and test for movement I can feel a slight thud. If I grab the newly rechromed stanchions, there's nothing. So my guess is, the steering column is good. That only leaves the bushes.
I read somewhere that the bushes are made of Teflon. I could get some and them turned up but thought I'd ask about first.
Thanks in advance.
I'm not even certain that they are xs forks.
