polyamide (Nylon 66/polycaprolactam) bushings instead Swingarm & Linkage Bearings

[Rampart]

Hi all
my linkage bearings went to a better world







I decided to save a bit on bearings, and go for polyamide bushings. A common thing for ATVs, cars and motorcycles. I'll write here how long they will last.








I paid 13 USD per 100cm polyamide rod (used 15cm) and blank for ruined pin. Still have to buy one screw. Also I paid the workman (a friend of mine) for the manufacture of three bushings and one pin - 8 USD. So budget of repair no more than 25 USD + a lot of stuff just in case.
