If someone has measurements I can make one......

For me, it's the other way around .... Many of the parts I've researched are only sold in the USA and not in Europe.
Here's an address for this piece in the USA but I think there must be others.

The part that sky.fred has linked to is not the part that I think of when speaking of the kickstart bushing. Are you referring to the one in the right side cover? If that is getting loose then it should definitely be replaced ASAP as the cover itself can crack just above the bushing boss. This is a weak spot in the design. It should also be kept well lubricated.

I have had them made by a machinist at a repair shop before. It should be an easy job for someone with a lathe and some competence. Bronze is the best material. The outside should be a press fit while the inside should allow free rotation of the shaft. The hole for grease can be made by pulling the grease fitting and using the grease channel as a drill guide.

I think it's this part 17 that I've linked to a remanufacture he mentions.
