Sportster Shock Bushings
07/27/23 at 07:51:04

Long time lurker, First time poster.

I recently purchased a pair of OEM 11.5" Sporty shocks off of Facebook. Would anyone happen to know/have a link to some bushings that'll work? I know I can probably use a caliper to just get some measurements and do it that way, but i figured I'd ask the hive mind if somebody had already saved me the trouble (yes, I tried the search bar).

Thanks in advance Grin

I don’t know of assorted sizes of bushings for HD shocks. I have tried to drill out the bushings of a Sporty shock to fit the Savage but that was not successful. The bushing could not be stabilized making the drill chatter and sticking. Progressive does have removable bushings on their shocks and an assortment of sizes are available, including the metric size we use.
That doesn’t help you right now though.

I found some tubing with the exact size that filled the gap. cut it to length and slip it in.
