Is that the type that has the removable grease nipples and socket cap to blank the greasing holes off? Wanna see what happens when someone installs this and never greases it then sell it to the new owner who has NO CLUE that it's been done?

I’ve never seen a motorbike with negative camber or is it positive?

I guess that depends on if it’s a right hand or left hand bend!
Neither - both are spelt correctly - but have completely different meanings.The spelling / grammar Police again
If you aren't open to learning new things . . .
Hydro = relating to fluids/hydraulics i.e. a Hydrometer measures the density of fluids
Hygro = relating to moisture i.e. a Hygrometer measure the amount of moisture in a gas
And to get the full geek on, both originate from Greek, with Hydro meaning water, and Hygro meaning wet/moist.
(Hydro however can also be used to relate to Hydrogen)

That's pretty poor, you get assembly grease in the kit for fitting and the instructions state to pump them full of grease as well after fitting.
There's also a sticker supplied to attach to the swingarm.
The initial assembly grease is same consistency as CV grease (probably is by the look of it!).
It states to grease at every service.
The chap actually asked for these bushes and knows what the maintenance involves.
To be honest installing the stock needle bearings etc bone dry would end in tears as well..

No problem.
It's good to be able to occasionally share some of the seemingly useless information that my brain retains.
Following on from the ex @winchman large bearing pullers I needed to equip them with suitable studs etc to actually pull things.
Now the threads on both sizes are rather odd. The smaller one is M16 x 1.75 pitch which is a standard metric fine alternative but rather rare M16 fine usually being 1.5 mm pitch. However it's the big one I need to get going first and that's 1" UNS which is 14 TPI (UNF = 12 TPI & UNC = 8TPI)
Now I have a lot of threading gear but NOT 1" UNS . .. but I DO have a Coventry die head and dies for 7/8" UNF which happens to be 14TPI - will it open up enough to do a 1" thread . . a bit of experimenting and . . . YES IT WILL !!
Mu objective is to make two adaptors with a 1" UNS male and a 1/2" UNC female so that I can use all the bits an bobs from my 1/2" UNC milling machine clamps sets.
First adaptor whizzed off the lathe but not the second one ! Muggins managed to break a tap in the female end and couldn't get it out. Spent too long looking for something to make an electrode to spark it out on the EDM machine but came up blank. Will have to make a replacement adaptor (I'm using EN24T so it's quite tough)
Still one done and one to go

Much to my wife’s disgust last night I fixed my 40 year old AT-AT and Snowspeeder that were recovered from my parents house. Needed dismantling and all the contacts cleaning up and motors freeing off but both lighting and motorised sound now work, I’m now a very happy (4)4 year old!
