- Replacing shock bushings on twin shock motorcycles. Press out the old bushings and press in new ones. Super easy and can be done in your garage.

I also have tons of info on my blog, on my website.
I do in person classes at Skidmark Garage in Cleveland Ohio. You can take classes in 101 Motorcycle maintenance, carburetors, motorcycle electrical systems, suspension repair, basics of Mig welding, and specialty tools. In addition, I have an engine building class that S&S Cycle sponsors. They support the grassroots crowd, by sending me two warranty return engines, that people can disassemble, and reassemble, to help them build confidence before tearing into their own engine.

Use a drill and drill bit to get the old bushing out will walk it right out look it up on TH-cam there's videos will make the job that much easier!!!
I feel like the bushing would get jammed on the but, and that would cause a lot of grief. Does it?
Great video!! I also ordered stock bushings.. Glad i watched this before i pulled shocks and bushings..
Glad to hear it helped
Awesome thank you! I have to do this on my Sportster progressive shocks.
Glad it helped!
FREAKN AWESOME VIDEO!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you brother! It was helpfull!
You’re welcome
💯👍👍
You have my vote !
Thanks!
Дякую, Вам!!!
The new bushings from progressive from what they told me do not need to insert the metal sleeve into it like the old bushings had.
Well shyte. That would have made the whole task simpler. Either way, it’s good info.
Looks like he got the old rubber bushing though so he did need the metal sleeve. The new progressive bushings that don’t need them are a hard polyurethane that are a bitch to get in without a press.
@@BossMan302 squeeze them down with a hose clamp to get them small
Enough to start in.
so you dont have insert the sleeve?
@@dennisfab3869 not on the new bushings however the bushings in this video are the old ones so they need the sleeves.
What model of shock do you have? I have a set of really old shocks that i need to replace the bushings in (I'll upgrade eventually but they're still good) but they couldn't pull anything up from the number on it. But the bushings in mine look identical to yours. So if you could tell me what model yours are i could order replacement bushings for mine. Thank you.
They are progressive’s entry level shock. I don’t remember the number now.
What would you recommend if it still on the bike?
You are going to have to unbolt the shock from the bike to replace the bushings. I don’t see a way around it.
Why do so many aftermarket shocks not utilize a rubber bushing, just a steel sleeve in the eye? Sounds like a cheap way of manufacturing something.
I have no idea
Glad that wasn't my shock, would need it blasted and powder coated to get rid of the marks left by the vice jaws
They sell touch up paint. It’s not a show bike. If it was, it wouldn’t get ridden enough to wear out the bushings.
Put wood blocks on your vice
Cut them out
The bushings?
Well new bushings came but are not the right size👎
Oh that’s sucks. Did you contact them
@@KnobleMoto I haven't yet. But thinking i may order new shocks.. Not sure how long these have been on the bike.. They look like they've seen some miles..
@@steelhanded11 you can never go wrong with new suspension
