Default Need Springer Help!!!!!
I just got back from a 700+ mile trip and I noticed the rubber grommet for the top mount of the shock on my springer front end is gone! Can I jut buy the grommet somewhere? Any help would be great. Thanks!

I think rubber bushing is the right word--not grommet, lol. Any ideas? Thanks!

no you can't buy just the bushing. More than likely your shock is worn out also.I just had the same problem.

Cut a piece of fuel line of correct size and use that. It should last a while...

Or, possibly a piece of poly cut to fit...

any suspension outfit (i.e., energy suspension) has replacement bushings available, even in neoprene.
