    I ended up getting the M5 bushings pressed in mine, the shimmy never went away with the 750 style bushings and I must drive hard because they didnt last long before giving up the ghost. No shimmy or probs with the M5 bushings. Worth the extra 30 bux, now I dont have to keep swapping them things out.

    This is the part I was looking at originally:


    These have a green insert, but I guess its best to contact BMA and see if they can identify the manufacturer of the bushing.

    Best wishes.

    The 750 bushings are fluid-filled. The M5 bushings are simply rubber. HTH
