lotus54 Posted Monday at 11:04 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 11:04 PM Yes, Explorer and TR are the same. The grease fittings are there- I used flush ones that use a ‘needle’ type end. Three of them could have ‘regular’ zerk fittings, but the one for the main pin does not really have enough room. Before I sell any, I want to make sure everything is just right. I have made some little mods. I wanted to keep as thick as possible for strength, but also need to have clearance for the Ohlins or the Olle dampers since the springs are a bit different in size.

larro Posted Tuesday at 10:15 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:15 AM Ok thanks. This suspension set up using these brass push fit bushings do they have any lateral movement because when my bike is on its stand i can slightly lift the wheel or the rear of the swing arm and i can feel a tiny amount of lateral movement. I have replaced the bushings and greased everything an bought a new pin from Birketts and there is definite movement from the pin area.

lotus54 Posted Tuesday at 12:56 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:56 PM Original is steel w/teflon coating. This has the same except middle ‘main’pin that is now needle bearing. When I have final fitting done I will let you know. I have to make another bit of a change to clear Ohlins damper- the Ollé is smaller diameter. But that is what initial testing is all about.
