Shock absorber bushes, where do you get em ?

Post by Stew »

As some of you know I'm doing up and old Z650 and have recently had the rear shocks serviced/powder coated etc, they came without shock bushes and I'm struggling to find a supplier, they have an outer diameter of 25 mm with two having 15 mm internal diameters and two have 10 mm internals, bit of a wierd combo apparently, any ideas will be gratefully received :)

Thanks pal, they're a bit of an awkward size and I'm struggling to track them down, just spoke to Polybush who reckon if I pop down they may be able to knock some up for me, fingers crossed.
