mine made no mention of any pvc. I'm not sure how or where that could have been useful. The small, encircled parts are inserted into the isolators from the outside.

 

Thanks mplecha.

I'm still trying to get my head around all the different kits (just for the sake of knowledge). So, the flange end of the insert goes into the isolator first, then the ring in the steel mount slips between the nylon part and the big hole in the rubber isolator? Didn't realize there was that much space between the isolator and the end of the steel ring for a flange. I'll look at my left side again when I get time....

I look at the different bearing kits, some have the bearing riding on the inboard bushing, others have them riding on the outer bushing next to the rubber. Gives me a headache looking at all of them at one time. "but with a head like mine..."

Maybe kowboy will post some more parts pics of his parts also. And / or someone who's done more conversions than me will chime in.

 

The only purpose of those white bushings is to replace the original cleve blocks used by H-D as swingarm bushings. They are liquid filled devices, I suspect originally intended for anti-vibration use, which are flexible and one of the sources of the handling problems associated with the original rubber mount bikes, including the FXRs.

 

Yes, the circled in yellow parts was my question. Obviously the FXR (steel) mounting plates are different from an FLT but the rest of it uses the same parts.

Thanks for the photo wtfftw.

 

Ah, you may be right! The blue ones are of questionable merit IMHO. All Buells and the rubber-mount Sportsters use a lateral stabilizer link to support the rear rubber engine mounts, which is far more satisfactory, as supplied by True-Track with their stabilizer kits.
