i guess those would be considered solid bushings. i don't know though because there really aren't any bushings in that set up.
when you get the HH kit in, post up whether or not you think it was worth the money. i'm just running a wide glide axle and getting some spacers machined for my fat bob trees, didn't see a need for the expense of the HH kit.

Also, I will let you know on the HH kit. I did it more out of convenience versus cost. I didn't want to deal with measuring and cutting spacers and I needed the axle anyway and the kit included it all with free shipping.
If the complete swap, start to finish, gets done on only one Saturday and a case of beer, then I am happy! However, I am gonna be waiting on powder. So I have to get the wheel mounted, check all clearances, freeze my *** off and test ride it, then strip the wheel back off and take the axle and spacers to the powder shop because I think they are chrome.

I was thinking that since I have no bushings at all now, its just metal on metal. If I now go with Poly bushings in the new trees, then I may have my normal vibes dampened. Not that I was having a vibration problem on my bike.
