    Cool Springer bushings

    I have 40,500 mi. on my '04 Springer. Should I consider replacing springer bushings before next years riding season? Also, how long do wheel bearings usually last? I put on about 4000 mi. a year.

    I have 54,000 on my org bushings and wheel bearings... no trouble yet
    As long as everything is tight, I would not worry about the bushings

    With that many miles, I'd change them.
    My Golf Swing is so bad, I look like a caveman killing his lunch.
