Hi,
I just bought a variety of Tr6 poly bushings from BPNW (who
also makes them for Moss, Vict Brit.)
They have graphite in them and actually have a greasy feel to them when
you touch them. Prior to buying them the folks at BPNW suggested that
all I need to do is grease them up liberally and they should be okay.
I've installed them & they seem to fit great - but since my body & frame
are still apart I can't comment on the long term use or feel.
I hope this helps?
Happy New Year!
