I just realized all the racket coming from what I thought was my shifter linkage is actually the header bracket. There's some slop between that allen bolt and the bracket. Did I cook a bushing off or what? What belongs there?

Oh, by the way, I turned down some delrin top hat bushings for my sloppy shifter linkage and it is tight and so quiet. I can actually hear my bodywork rattling again.

Saweet!

Seems they're NLA. Is there an alternative? Besides upgrading the whole hanger with the American Sport Bike unit? Seems like something would suffice.

They are NLA because Buell upgraded the hanger, as you said available from American Sport Bike or the dealer. As Tripp said, American Sport Bike does have the replacement bushing.

Honestly, you are better off upgrading the entire front mount.

Indeed! Truer words have never been spoke, er...typed.

Actually, we've sold our last urethane bushing, there all gone and not being made any more.

The new mount is worth it anyway. Much better design. See http://www.americansportbike.com/shop/cgi-bin/cp-a pp.cgi?usr=51F4004380&rnd=1176552&rrc=N&affl=&cip= 69.160.135.44&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=17036&cat=&cat str=
