Standard. I just bought a bag from McMaster. The size is in the manual for the 2005's

Guys,

Standard metric sizes (cross section x ID)

Linkage/swingarm orings : 3.5 x 21

Shock pivot orings : 3.5 x 15

Also, another trick I learned, when using orings on the swingarm, there is a little too much room for them to walk out, as there are no washers there. What I do is use a 1.5 x 21 oring on top of the 3.5 x 21 as a spacer to retain it against the frame boss.

If McMaster does not have these sizes, try Oringsinc or APG (callapg.com).

I can only get 3.53 x 15.47 at a local supplier, other wise I have to order the exact size from the Suppliers out of town and have them shipped.

Will the 3.53 x 15.47 be fine?

I would order the correct size. They are quite a tight fit on the bush a din the linkage. The larger size will not seal on the bush and you may battle to get them into the linkage.

It is easy to take the linkage along to your shop and try one

Can't get exact size from suppliers. Hope this will do. Also is the bushing meant to be longer than the bearing. Anyone got the exact sizes of the bearing and the bushing.

Yes, bushing (inner race) is supposed to be longer than the bearing.
