Would these be to costly for you?

How can the brass be a problem? Either they fit, or a few minutes with a hone and you actually have a pivot point.

Oh dear, we're going down that "take a horse to water "route again. Any competent engineer/ fitter should be able to this job with his eyes shut

Edit: Sorry, I mistakenly thought you already had the bronze bearings in there, and were wanting to fit oem bushings in conjunction with those.

For my bikes, I'd just consider getting a set of bushings from http://www.hvccycle.net/internal-swing-arm-bushings/.

yea like Tankie said, it aint a big operation.
Drive the old brass out, press the new ones in.
Any extra clearance needed is there at the turn of a reamer or hone.
Then you have pretty well, a "Virgin Fit" as we used to say.....

Not against this idea, the stock fit perfect and never have been an issue with "slop" while cornering. Maybe if I was road racing, but street riding never felt strange to me....but, I may end up with the brass again if needed.

The 74 has a steel collar and bushing...so why is the brass any better??
