    O.D.= 20mm
    I.D.= 15.10mm
    Length= 68.25mm

    The dimensions were taken from a NOS collar (52141-961-000) for an 82 250r. After the heat treating, the I.D. was a bit too small. I took it back with my swingarm bolt, and they machined it out a bit and has worked fine for 6 years.

    Hope this helps,
    Marc

    I don't know the method they used. I initially thought they used the wrong specs. The machinist noted that it contracted just a bit after treating.

    i would do some checking and see if a 1982 CR 250R swingarm bushings are the same dimensions or part numbers as a 1982 250R. If so, I have pasted a link to a rebuild kit below on ebay....

    HRE can make you any swingarm to use any carrier, such as a 450R carrier and caliper.

    If you haven't read anything on him, Google him.

    Not cheap but if people cave have a CLUE as to what this stuff takes, they don't mind paying. Can't hurt to look him up.......

    I know heat treating can change the size of a part sometimes. I was wondering if maybe they just did a case hardening type of heat treat that just hardens the outer surfaces of the part.

    Slaughter; This isn't an offer just yet, but I just got some swing arm parts from another member and I am going to try to make a set of swing arm bushings out of Delrin that will eliminate the sleeves/collars you are talking about. I have a lot of irons in the fire right now so I don't want to offer something I can't finish.

    Let me see if I can do these other bushings before I try to help you out. If you find something else in the meantime so be it. I just don't want to make a commitment I can't keep.

    $65 for one. (6 years ago)
    At the time, i only bought one NOS collar from Service Honda because thats all they had. It could have been the last one on earth because they were discontinued right after.
    So i had to have one made.

    Scootertrash : that would be cool if you could do that
    i know there is a guy over at s that is trying to get a group buy together for teflon bushing sets but sometimes it does take along time to get enough people together and the price may still be a bit of an isue
    but in the meantime i think im going to try something with the 200x collar (i just cant see myself paying that much money for a little piece of metal)

    x.systems last post on this site was 5/29.

    That's why I am going to try to make a set for the other member. I'm pretty confident I can do it.

    Problem is, a lot of members of online forums don't have faith in someone trying something they haven't done before, I've seen it many times.

    I made these bushings for a '91 Polaris 350L I completely rebuilt. Motor was rebuilt, tranny was gone thru, every bearing, bushing and wear part was disassembled, inspected, repaired/replaced and got fresh lube. EVERYTHING.

    Here are some bushings I made for that machine. The metal ones are similar to the construction of the 250R bushings. A metal sleeve or collar that the swing arm bolt passes thru. The metal sleeve passes thru a phonelic/composite bushing/bearing that is a tight slip fit into the swing arm.

    The plastic bushings are for the rear shock. The old ones were shot, as you can see, and no one sells anything that fits as a replacement, so I made 4. Two for the top shock mount and two for the bottom.

    This is a chain roller I made. Once again the replacement part is discontinued. This roller fits over the swing arm mount bolt and nut to protect the swing arm bolt and nut from chain slap.

    Do I have the skill to pull it off? I think I do. Will I be able to meet the anal retentive standards I set when doing something for someone else? More than likely. Will I be able to do it in a timely manner so it's worth my time to make this one set, let alone more if others want them? I(we) shalll see..........
