1992 Vmax4 front scissors rebuild
Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2016 9:59 pm
Newbie here...great forum!!
I need to rebuild my front scissor arms as they are severely seized. I realize the Vmax 4 has needle bearings instead of bushings. These bearings (12 required) are extremely costly. Can I rebuild them with bushings instead of bearings? Bushing kits are way less expensive, and I will be cleaning and greasing them on a regular basis. Are the dimensions of the bushings the same dimensions as the needle bearings are, so that the bolt collars will all work, etc.?
Thanks in advance!
