Docking Hardware Bushings
Have any of you guys found anything better than the plasticbushings that come with the docking hardware???
I have searched everything on here hoping someone had posted something about this but couldn't find anything. Mine seem to be wearing, making the tour pack rattle and I would like to replace them with something better than what they come with. Any input or ideas would be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!!!

RE: Docking Hardware Bushings
When i used the detachable pass back rest,the bushing (plastic points) were never a issue, once I added the detachable tour pak rack it bacame a issue with in 700 miles the first time,replaced all the plastic points $32.00 for 4 of them,within another 600-700 miles they were worn again enough were i thought the tour pak might fall off the mounts,the last time I replace the detachable mount with the standard bolt on rack,still going strong and doesnt have the worn feeling the other rack set up did

It's a shame that MOCO puts such a premium price on these & then uses sub-grade materials. I've been looking for aftermarket docking point bushings for awhile now & haven't found a source. IMO if anyone comes up w/somethingthey'll stay busy making em.

There might be some better plastics to use such as Torlon,Turcite,Delrin etc.
If you know a machinist,they me be able to make some for you.

Funny you should mention this. I think I may mill some out of UHMW and see how that works.
