Default Apex Front End Bushings

Any know if there are any better bulkhead bushings for the front end of an Apex. I put on a CBS front end with grease nipples, maybe the the grease will help keep them from wearing out. thx

most machine shops have oilite solid stock...they machine them to the size od/id as needed...yep it would probably be cheaper to by already made from a supplier..but the machine shops shouldn;t charge to much either...and at least it would be a one time cost for the quality

I made the mistake and ordered pioneer performance's bushing kit thinking that it included all bushings because I needed the bulkhead bushings. sadly dissapointed. I just ordered the yamaha factory's.we'll see how long they last.

Ulmer Racing has what you need. He has Oil-lite bushings for the entire front end. Very good price too, buy 1 or buy them all. They are like 4.00 each and take all the slop out. Eric

I bought the oil-lites for my Vector from Ulmer. The price seemed reasonable and my stock front end has tons of slop at 2500 miles. I've got oil-lites in my Nytro with zerk fittings and they are still tight after 1700 miles. The stock plastic bushings are junk.
