rose joints in hoop

Hi All
Are the joints in the ends of the rear suspension hoop removeable and replaceable. The ones in my 888 are rusty as hell and look crap.

Cheers
Andy

They are replaceable. Bearing shops sell them, if you want to pay a third of the price that Ducati charge. Although the Ducati ones are made in Switzerland.

Here we go..part number from BSL is SMG1040.

Have a look on their website www.bsl.com

I think they are about £15 each, compared with £45 for ducati ones

Cheers

£15 each, for that metric rubbish

They're having a laugh.
