Very nice. The bushing appears to be made of brass rather than bronze. Can't tell for sure in the video.

Thank you Greg and Kelly for sharing this information. Great stuff! And good to hear that Jamie had a hand in this effort as well.

I have used this process for several years with no problems. But I think mine looks more like red brass. ---------------- Clarence

In case you were hesitant, this may help. I just received a pair of shifter covers rebuilt by Greg & Diane Watkins and I can vouch for their amazing work! Totally re-bushed & rebuilt, adjusted and ready for Combat! Top drawer work!

I had done one myself in the past. The last one I had Greg do for me. Good people and great work. A brone bushing that's going to last and best of all, 1 down and 4 up on my 71 rats. Back to back motos in vmx when the two different bikes have opposite shift patterns is not a recipe for success in my experience. Just my .02

I paid a bit more, but Greg completely rebuilt my mechanisms, sourced a couple of very nice used inner covers, replaced all parts that were iffy, all new screws, painted the covers with auto quality paint, and readjusted them. Super fair pricing in my mind.
