I recieved the dog bones from Emig, and they do look to be very well made. However, upon comparison with the stock KX500 dog bones, I am wishing that the Emig made parts had the steel bushings in the bolt holes that the factory parts have. I am a bit concerned about the holes in the new Emig dog bones becoming oval shaped with use.
Anyone have any thoughts about this? Am I worrying too much? :?

I have emig bones on my KTM that have beet across country off road 3 times. And have over 18,000 miles off road on them.. With ZERO wear... Needless to say... Your over thinking / worrying.

Motorrad are you running these on your motard. I understand the quicker turning shorter dog bones but wondering if longer would be an advantage on the street.
