  1. I know what you mean, the Yams have them too. I'd go bronze/oiltight as they are what should have been fitted in the first place. I see they are the same as the GT750 http://www.pinkpossum.com/GT750/phattrakka2/p4aswinger.htm might be an alternative
  2. when you say you damaged the tophats, were they peened over? just get a local engineering firm to ream them out. I had to with the first lot of bronze bushes, the second lot i used the threaded bar.
