The pivot shaft on GSXR 600 Swingarm that I have is 22 mm. The pivot axle on my 1982 GPZ1100 is 16 mm. I have found flanged bronze bushings on McMaster.com. They are only 20 (little more than 3/4") while the highhats that came with the swingarm are 42 mm long ~1-1/2". First, will the bronze oilite bushings work? Second, will the shortened length be adequate. I plan on keeping the existing high hats in the swingarm and I have space for the flanged bushing as the GSXR swingarm is narrower than the gap between in the GPZ frame. Any input is welcome. I imagine the bushing is rated for shears commensurate with the shear strength of the shaft that it is sized for.
