When sending off my box-o-parts to the powdercoater, I didn't know that I forgot to remove the swingarm bushings. They have to be scrapped as they got deformed in the process.
1. I see that there are eBay sellers selling bronze bushings in lieu of the plasticky Honda bushings. Is there a particular advantage/disadvantage to each?
2. How the F do you guys get the swingarm collar through these bushings? I could tell that it was a VERY tight fit upon removal of the collar, involving a punch and a hammer. I fear that installation the same way would break apart the Honda bushings, and with the brass aftermarket option, it seems like it would be more difficult...
