For those needing a little more seat height, and the only help is an ol'pair of Sporty Shocks, use a "C" clamp and 1 lg socket and 1 small socket, press the bushing into the lg socket by means of the small socket and "C" clamp. Then do same for the stock Savage shocks and swap the bushings, mount Sporty shocks w/ Savage bushings to 'Ol Faithful and Roll.
Like turning a bike @road speed.....Slow, Look, Press, & Roll

Sorry.... Haven't figured out the photo transport system yet.

Are you wanting to raise the seat?

I have also used the large and small socket method to remove Sportster shock bushings.  Be aware that the bushing and eye in the shock tapers down quite a bit in the center so if you encounter some stubborn resistance your smaller socket may be hanging up in there and a smaller one will be required.  A little soapy water also helps them along.  If everything goes well the Harley bushings will make it through in good shape and will be reusable should you want to put them back in a Harley again.

When you guys are talking about fitting Sportser shocks are you replacing the entire bushing, the rubber part including the steel insert or just the steel insert?  It would certainly be a lot simpler to replace the steel insert only.  Is the steel bushing molded into the rubber or can it be pushed out?  I don't want to experiment with my left over Sporster bushings because a friend could use them.

I pushed out the Sportster rubber bushings entirely and replaced them with home made ones I made from a thick rubber hose and some rigid stainless hydralic tubing.  I have a lathe and I am always looking for an excuse to use it but the homemade ones are not the best.  The hose material I used wasn't that great.
