A very generous member of this board recently gave me a set of 412 progressive shocks - I plan to mount them soon. Where would I go to buy bushings and what exactly to ask for?
Thanks.

Gary passed... The OEM bushings work OK, I don't think they cost much... they wear out quick though... A supporting vendor sells ones that are supposed to be good and last a long time... http://www.xf6-custom.com/partpages/bushings.html-Mike |

Hondaline VTX bushings are poly and work well.

I believe that if you have Progressive shocks...you have to use the Progressive bushings. They don't cross to the stock parts.

you can call Progressive Suspension tech support and order a new set of bushings. Last time I did this they sent them for free, but I have 440s with lifetime warranty and the original purchase receipt.
Worth a try...

When looking up the bushings online, What year/model do you us for HDL? |
