Not sure about the bushing but if you're looking to up grade anything I will do the entire shock.. OEM'S kinda suck... I got these used and they made a nice firm difference.. Still HD's but they are pretty good... Premium Ride Emulsion Shocks

I don’t know of any bushing replacements for Stock shocks, mostly because the entire shock is so cheap and low quality they aren’t worth replacing the bushings in.


upgrade shocks. Bitubo, legends, pro action, Ohlins, etc lots of good options out there

The best bushings in the world will do nothing to help the sub-par performance of the stock shocks.

They changed the design of the shock mount in 2007 2008. The upper shock bolt on Dynas up to ‘07 is apparently prone to bending and breaking. I never had a problem but it might be due to too little preload causing the shock to bottom out harshly.
