Default Mono tube question

My fork slider bushings are showing some wear. If I go with mono tubes, do they eliminate the use of the slider bushings? I don't really know what they look like, but I'm thinking they might. Anyone know that's installed a set?

No they don't replace them. They replace the spring assembly. However they are cheap and easy to replace while doing mono tube change over? Also replace fork seals at same time. I love my mono tubes so far!

If I'm going to have to replace the bushings and seals anyway, I'll just keep the other internals that I already have. I'm pretty satisfied with the ride since I went to heavier fork oil.

Go to HDF sponsor Motorcycle Metal's website and Amy will show you how to dismantle and rebuild your forks.

Thanks gr, but I've already replaced most everything in there, but I didn't do the bushings. But that was 15k ago...
