Wayne,
I replaced the swingarm bushings in my 750F awhile back and the old
ones look just like the new ones - both were Honda parts and were
plastic. Since the swingarm really doesn't rotate all that much, there
isn't much wear and tear on the bushings. You just need them to hold
the swingarm tight to the frame so that you don't get any squirrelly
action when riding.
Clean out the bushing housing with a rag, I used some chassis grease to
help the bushings slide into the frame. A wooden block that spans the
bushing and a hammer to tap the block to install them. Just make sure
that the bushing doesn't get cocked; if so, remove and start over again.
And when you have assembled everything, don't forget top pump some
grease into bushing via the zerk fitting.
