Cush bushings for my 1970 sl 100

[slag]

I've been looking around for a set of 4 cush bushings for my 70 honda sl100 and what I'm finding is highway robbery. They are small rubber bushings that go under the rear sprocket on the rear rim and absorb vibrations. They appear to be standard rubber bushings, probably cost about 20 cents to manufacture.

The cheapest I can find them for is $10.00 apiece, plus $6.99 shipping. I need 4 of them and shipping for all four would probably be about $10.00 or so.

$50.00 for 4 small rubber bushings. I've checked plumbing supply houses, hardware stores, cant find the same thing I need at either of them. GRR. why do they cost so much???!!

And special and they aren't made in quantities high enough to get any sort of volume discount. Then you have to factor in the profit margins of course...

Have you tried www.oldbikebarn.com?

Motorcycles are money pits. Old or new. Look on eBay. That's where I use to get all my parts.
