I have the swingarm off whilst I am tidying up things. Although she felt pretty tight, I'm thinking I may as well replace the bushes before reassembling.
What are the options and preferred bushes for the J model? - and where from?
Many thanks, Mike

Mike, I am doing the needle roller conversion on my M right now.
Here's the links I followed for "how to":

http://www.pinkpossum.com/GT750/phattra ... winger.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This is a much more satisfactory solution than just replacing the original bushings which appear to be some kind of plastic....not very confidence-inspiring!
Also, shop around for the bearings....I found that prices varied greatly between vendors.
