If so, what do you think? are they worth the $$$ they say they will last longer than OEM. I bought the OEM and they lasted about 3000-4000 miles. Your comments are appreciated.

Haven't used the F6 bushings...but I have used the Honda VTX 1800 bushings with very good results...

Part number:  52489-MW3-305  $3.56 each (@ronayers.com)...about $5 at your dealer....

I am running his shock bushings, all I can say is indestructible. Bought them 4 years ago, have over 30,000 miles on them and they still look new. Just my 2 cents, well worth the money.

Daryl made a set for my Progressive 412's, and that was 3 years ago...  No issues, and they look like new.

I know Gary has passed, but are his shock bushings and dampners still available?

I can't imagine shock bushings lasting only 3,000 to 4,000 miles.

That's not even close to a full riding season to boot!

Something more to it than simply wearing out and I'd suggest to look further for a problem.
