    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Rear wheel rubber bushings

Is there a trick to installing the "cush drive" rubber bushings in a shaftie rear wheel? I've removed my old ones to powdercoat the wheel, and bought a new set. The new ones are a considerable amount larger in the o.d. The old ones are still a snug fit and not hard or cracked at all, so I might re-use them. Did Parts Outlaw send me the wrong size, or could my old ones have really shrunk that much?
Anyone ever install new ones?

I installed new ones on my 750, they were a bit tighter though not overly so. I applied a wee bit of teflon on the nipple and sides and it locked in just fine.
 
I wonder if they are a different size for the chain drive models. Maybe that's what they sent you?
 
I see this part number for my 86 model 0931912019 what do you have?

That's the same number on the bag the parts came in. I'm going to try to press them in tomorrow with a home made setup. We'll see how it goes.

Just used a hammer end and pushed them in. No sweat. My old ones were still good, though at the time I was freshening up all the rubber stuff on the bike, I said might as well.
 
These were tight. I did manage to press them in with some scrap pieces of wood and a few bolts. A bit tricky, but it worked!
