    Hmmm, I seem to remember using an old bushing versus the new, because of difference in size.
    The only bearings I didn't have issues with were the wheel bearings, only becasue the old ones were fine.
    Headset bearings, I ended up trading back and forth with Bryon/BMP

    Make sure the main bushings and the larger rings are both on the inside
    If that makes sense. So seal on outer then the two needle rollers the big ring
    then the bush that goes through the
    Lot.

    I may of gotten wires crossed but i assume this is the problem

    we do have the rings on the inside it seems like the brake side frame rail is pushed in about .060 and the frame rail on sprocket side has been pushed out about 4mm out. and both old and new bushing will not fit. and what are yalls thought on HMDP or 954 navy bronze bushings.

    willl post pics later for a better understands

    Mine was tight when I put my 250 back in my frame. I assumed the 360 was slightly narrower and I had pinched the frame together a bit. My fix was to grind a very little amount off the end of the bushing (the small end that goes through the swing arm) as it was catching on the frame. Not ideal, but it did the trick for me.
