Default Kahalani bushings

Im planning on buying these trucks soon and just wondering which bushing can go with these? I heard only khiros go with them. Is this true?

barrel sized bushings should work. nothing like a stim/rad/jimz bushings will fit though.

They were designed around the khiro bushing size, so anything barrel or smaller aka no stims/jimz. I say some karrot or venom bushing. But I am a bushing whore.

I never knew that you couldn't use stims, do they just not fit? (I know how stims don't fit into the bottom bushing slot, is it like the same thing).

/threadjack

are kahas really only 295 now? There website is kinda weird right now. I'm guessing that the commas are the same as periods, because right now it reads 295,06 which would be a little bit expensive. But if it really is 295.06 plus 48 dollar shipping that would actually make the trucks a lot cheaper now.

Correction: There WAS a kaha shape. That mold is done though. Barrels are better in kahas anyway. The thing that makes them good is the fact that they're so turny. The kaha shape just locks them down.

if you're willing to change trucks that easily because of so-so bushings, and know this little about them...maybe you should wait a little and do more research and riding and figure out which trucks fit you best and educate yourself on them and not make a mistake and buying them too hastily and regretting it

oh. I stand corrected. What was the point of creating the kaha shapes in the beginning? Make them more stable?

I sold my soul and was able to score a few Venoms wich arrived in the mail today.

They are slightly taller than Khiro barrels

Click the image to open in full size.

If you think Kahalanis feels good with Khiros, you`re really in for a surprise with Venoms! The difference is nothing short of dramatic! I set mine up with 90a`s all around and the Venoms made the Kaha`s come alive, the 90a Venoms feels softer than the 90a Khiros, but the amazing rebound makes for a totally different feel, my trucks turns way better, but still feels solid and stable in a tuck because of the rebound holding you back.

-Truck: either jimz, smokie or kahalanis.
-Purple inheat orangatangs.
