Either I'm entering something wrong-no surprise there-or I saw it somewhere else-again-no surprise!  uglystupid2 Somebody posted Teflon shock bushings from either McMaster Carr or W W Grainger with part #s.  Wink Should have bookmarked it when I saw it.  crazy2 If one of my brothers or sisters here KNOW what I'm talking about could reenlighten me I would be grateful.  cooldude And as always T I A and RIDE SAFE.

If I can remember tomorrow, I'll check in my shop.  I used to have a set of Nylon bushings lying around from a board member.

If I can find them, they're yours.

Those are not made for the Valkyrie or even the VTX, but some have used them.  They are not tapered like the OEM or like the inner eye of the OEM shock.  There is a reason shock bushings are pliable rubber like material.....rather than hard nylon or PVC.   Replacing  consumable shock bushings are cheaper than replacing shocks or other hard parts....JMO.


Here are the ones I have used and recommended.  They are NOT the OEM black rubber ones, but newer style.....
