Fork Bushings

[hinglby]

Has anyone found fork bushings without having to purchase the fork tubes? I've emailed several places (race tech, Traxxion etc.) but they want to know the size. This means they not sold any.

Suggestions welcome.

Odd that you need to replace them....???? Never heard of anyone having to do this before....???

I'm not sure that I have to replace them. I will be replacing the boots and seals, so I want to make sure I have the parts (bushings) in case they show signs of wear. With over 80,000 miles it's hard to know what needs to be replaced and what doesn't.

I've read on some forums of people replacing the bushings, I just haven't been able to find them without replacing the tubes.

So, no ideas on where or what bushings can be used in a RIII standard?

These guys sorted my forks out, a respected Sydney based company... try emailing them , they might have the knowledge.

I did contact RaceTech, they have nothing to offer unless I can give them the dimensions of the bushings. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the dimensions. So once I tear down my forks I will get the dimensions and I will post them here for everyone and send to RaceTech so the can support the RIII in the future.
