RE: Docking Hardware Bushings
I thought about Delrin but quite a few had asked for Alum. I thought I'd try that first, also I was a little worried that Delrin might break, I machine it quite often, killer mat. and very easy to machine too.

RE: Docking Hardware Bushings
I just installed the quick detachable hardware for the 2 up tour pak a couple of minutes ago WHAT PITA!!!!! But it's over, andthe bushings worked great on my bike on the shakedown cruise, I don't know how much the factory chrome brackets vary, not much I hope! Matbe this will fix a problem seems like a lot of people have with the 2 up quick detachable brackets

No plating, it's T-6 6061 figured it should hold up pretty well, the mounting kit was a pure royal pain in the A$$ 
Fit good on my bracket and no rattles I think this might do the trick

I think you may be on to something here... Think about running off another set and I will be willing to give them a try also. Plating could aways come later as a finishing touch.
Let me know and I may send you some scratch via Pay Pal...

RE: Docking Hardware Bushings
I think any mat'l harder than the original bushing would be an improvement.
My sister inlaw almost fell of the back of my broinlaws bike because the stock bushings had worn out.She was leaning against the back rest.
Sometimes the bushings have to be modified depending on what shocks are being used and the type of docking hardware.
