Hello Lists,

I have a question concerning the tube shock conversion from BPNW.  I bought 
this conversion kit over a year ago and am just getting to install them.  They 
look pretty good, certainly easy....but, the bushings don't apear to be sized 
correctly for the TR6.  The holes in the lower attach point are 3/4" (original 
Triumph attach point).  The  The upper attach point holes in the new brackets 
are 7/16".  The bushings are 7/8".  In my world, the holes should match the 
bushing "stepped" area such that when installed the two bushings actually come 
in contact with each other isolating the shock absorber from the frame/bracket 
such that no part of the tube shock shaft comes in contact with either attach 
point.

Has anyone else run into this?  I'll be calling BPNW tomorrow to see what their 
opinion might be.

Scratching my head...
