    Need good shock bushings?

    I have been looking for decent shock bushings to replace the crap ones that come with MDI or Progressive shocks and found this listing on Ebay:

    These ones fit my MDI shocks perfectly, I got 12mm ones to fit the upper mount on my '82 750. They ship from UK, took only just over a week to get them.
    If you look at his other listings he has other sizes to fit different shock eye sizes. I took some pics.
    Comes with for bushings and lots of washers, the rubber is much better quality. They are a tight fit which is good, I used a bit of oil to install them into the shocks, and had to file the shock mount, mine was mushroomed over.
    As far as I can tell these ones are a good fit for Progressive shocks:

      I dont have any stock rear shocks, the bushings arent listed seperately, they show the bushings that are in the swingarm, but I have no idea if they fit.

        I have gone for a couple of rides since the install and the rear end feels much more steady and planted. Small upgrade makes quite a difference.
        Stealing 30 year old bushings from stock shocks isnt worth it IMHO.
