    Bandit Swingarm bushing interest?

    Checking to see if there is any interest in bushings to do a Bandit swingarm swap. I know Katman offers these for $120\pair and I am not trying to rain on his parade. I wanted to replace the stock Bandit bushing with one with a 16mm pivot bolt hole and 2mm thicker flange as opposed to his which slip in the stock ones. The reason being my Bandit ones have some wear marks from the bearing. I have done a preliminary design with eMachineShop. Made from 303\304 Stainless the price for 2 is $80\ea, but for 20 is $19.54\ea. I don't want to make any money on these. If I can find 9 more people that want a pair I will sell them at cost plus whatever the post office charges. Alternately if someone wants to make a few I am up for that as well, it just is so easy to click a few buttons and have a 3D CAD drawing and order online though.... If we go through this I need to get more precise measurements, time to deliver is ~28 days. Same for the shock mounts, a simple triangle with a rounded top and a single hole for an OEM shock bushing should be pretty cheap. If no one else is in I will buy from Katman.
