I do indeed; 307-22123-0. For reference, there are several part numbers (and lots of other good stuff) in the ATV sticky.

Nope. Inner steel tube encased in rubber with an outer steel tube over that. Bronze is an excellent idea, although UHMW is a good choice as well.

A punch and a giant hammer. They're brutal. Beware that there might be a spacer tube between the bushings that complicates things for you. My Beast has a slight shoulder that the bushing sits against, so the spacer tube is unnecessary for me. Be careful to not pound on the shoulder.

More Pics
Sorry I've been away for a while. To answer any questions, I would have a hard time building one for anyone unless it was for a T3 as I don't have an original swingarm or machine to take measurements from. Here are some pics of the install and final appearance of the machine.

Holy giant photos! Can you resize them a bit?
Excellent job on the swingarm. The zerk is a really good idea, as are the three shock mounting holes. It looks like you TIG welded the whole deal. I recommend that you dump the original swingarm nut and use two jam nuts instead. Much less likely to loosen. Would you like a Beast swingarm as a template?

I know this thread is old but its a really nice build. I thought I'd bring it up. I want to do this if I can't find a Swingarm from something else that I can modify
