Timeline goes like this-
Knock noticed at top shock mount during maintanence, figured cheap top hat bushes worn after nearly a year, so order new 'tough' steel bushing from betd for top and bottom shock eyes.
Fit bushings and new eys bushes, slop still there but perhaps marginally better.
Figure it must be the shock bolts have worn (unlikely and didn't appear to be) so order from orange some new shock mounting bolts.
Fit new shock bolts which perfectly fit the frame, slop still there at top shock mount.
So is this a design fault/intention for the betd ones? are they designed to have slightly more movement in order to move free'er? or have they just been badly made and should fit perfect with zero slop?
Basically if anyone has fitted them to their single pivot can they just go see if they have a bit of slop or not. I couldn't get through to betd to ask them direct.
Personally i don't want to pay that much to have a knocking sloppy mount if they are designed that way.
