Shock Bushings

Need some new shock bushings,I have some Garys bushings in now and they are gone, so was looking for something else.
So I need some info on another type or brand.
Need part # s or sizes, any info that will help.
Dont want to put the same back in, I feel they should have lasted longer.
Im getting some high speed wollowing, in the high speed turns, 60mph up to 80mph and up

Thanks

I just went down an picked up some poly bushings today and cut them down to size and made my own bushings. Garys bushings only lasted about 18 mos.
They were so tight, I had to press them into the shock with my vise and drive them on with a rubber hammer. They are tight.
Will try it out tomorrow.

these work great

I needed some for the weekend. Thought I was going to go somewere, They are easy to make.

I made a set from silicone bronze bushing stock we use at work. They were very solid, although maybe a tad harsh. Definately transferred more road vibrations to the bike, but if you want the ultimate in solid, no squishy feel they are the way to go.

Charlie D here in Roseburg is going to make some out of those, was just talking to him about it.

the stock lower bushings on the 05+ bikes are all poly now....

Its my top ones that wear out the fastest. Why the hell dont Honda do it right the first time?

must have a pre-05... they are bearings after that..

03 1300 with over 60,000 miles, I just put 200 on it today and the bushings I made worked great, it took care of the problem.

My 2005 1300C has (had) rubber bushing top and bottom, maybe it's jsut the 1800's that they tried to fix
