Does anybody knew where you can find the spedometer bushing that goes in the hole in the drive axle on a trailfire

Clay, are you referring to the speedo pin that is square on the ends and matches the drive axle to the speedometer.

Matt might be able to get the speedo drive pin for you. The square pin was used on Skidoo and Polaris sleds. It is still listed in many distributors’ catalogs.

I'm not sure if this is the correct bushing but it's a start. You should check the dimensions.

You are looking for the Speedo drive bushing.

The guy in NY might be able to set you up, but there must be a contemporary source as well.

I have NOS speedo hardware kits that include the drive bushing, the drive pin and misc. hardware for $10.00 plus shipping. Hurry, as I am only home until Weds if you need one. Won't be back for a few weeks again.
