Rather than the plastic bushes in the swingarm that the doglegs fit into, is it possible to substitute these with bronze "oilite" type ones or maybe even needle roller cup bearings?

Thought I'd read on here somewhere the orinal bushes were metal, and later, superceded them to the nylon type? can't find the thread though..

About 1/2 way down first page.
£4.95 + the dreaded from simply bearings. Get the seals at the same time.

Thanks chaps, I think I'll explore the options but I do like the idea of needle roller bearings in there somehow and if they don't need to be the plastic bushes, it might be an interesting alternative. Just need to have a measure up and see if something suitable is available off the shelf.

Thanks Jon you helped me out there, I ended up getting 4 "Oilite" bronze bushes online, size was 18x24x30, fitted two of them today and they're perfect.
