    Top fork bushings

    Ola GSers, got a question, I'm planning to have my fork lowers powder coated. Though after stripping them down and such, I remember they have a teflon bronze bushing at the top of the leg. How is the heat gonna affect them? I went through several parts suppliers and no one shows a replacement for the top bushings. They do show the replacements for the sliders. Looking forward to hear what anyone has to say about this.

    Stuff I've done to my bike:dancing: 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

    Part number 51152-45400 for the bushes.

    The heat from the powder coating process won't trouble those bushes a jot.

      It will come out when you disassemble the forks.

        Well they just won't pop out, they are some what pressed in. I've taken some of before, just gotta get a peel started and out they come.
