Rich,
I haven't done this on the Eldo but on my G5 I simply went to the
hardware and found a piece of pvc pipe the right diameter (or at least
very close). It worked great for over 20k miles and was still ok when I
sold the beast. I greased them occasionally with lubricant that comes in
a tube with a thin needle on the end, like a syringe. Can't recall the
name of the stuff.

I was looking at your site an reviewing the shift linkage tips.
I'm thinking of doing mine, since we're stll covered in snow and I've
got a
couple of questions.

On the bushings, are these just Guzzi parts fro the catalog or do I
have to
get them elsewhere? If elsewhere, then where and what're they made of?

On the heim joints, the picture on your site looks like a small ball
joint
but the link points to a heim joint, which I think is different. Is
this a
ball joint you're using or am I just confused?

Thanks for the great site and for any help!
