Hello, I was wondering what model crossover aftermarket 13" shocks can be used with Valkyrie, example, Vtx, Harley, Sometimes others bike models will fit. Gives me some extra options in my search. Looking for Progressives or similar.

 Also are there any shock bushings still available aside from OEM.

 Thanks Rick

The best economical upgrade for a standard is to go to Interstate Valkyrie shocks.  World of difference in the ride, looks exactly the same.

I believe the shock bushings from Honda have been improved and will last longer.

I think that the VTX bushings are poly and much better than the old original.
