For the DS ... PivotWork's website lists nothing for the DS, but I could swear they have them. I plan to call them monday. Does anybody know for sure?
Have any of you guys replaced your shock or a-arm pivots yet? My front shock pivots are very worn out, they gotta be replaced soon, and the a-arm pivots are pretty gone too. I've cleaned and lubed them twice in the past year and a half, but they are on their last leg....

Any other sources, besides oem and maybe pivotworks?

 

If you are talking about the plastic bushings in the a-arms I got a full set for uppers and lowers from my dealer for $65. Ihave to lube mine every ride or they will only last about 100 hours. This last set has lasted at least 300-400 hours. I have aftermarket shocks and I have to get the pivots from them, so I don't know about the stock ones.

thanks justin. I also need the steel pivot that rotates inside the plastic bushings - they are also badly worn too believe it or not. I got 400 hours outa them - I remove them and clean and lube annually.

Okay not many have been down this road before, but here's the scoop for the guys that do in the future...
Pivotworks are expensive, although they are high quality. I never got an answer to if they make them for the DS...

TM Designworks - do not make them for the DS because they said there is no way they can compete with the price the dealership charges. They applauded the north american craftsmanship and cost efficiency from the Bomb factory.

The Bomb dealership is the cheapest by far.
