Does anyone know where I can get a pair of the rubber shock dampeners on the foward studs of 2012 Softail Deluxe shocks? I'm switching to Shotgun and would rather shelve the old shocks as a complete unit and use new dampeners with the ShotgunShock.

 

I recently had to replace mine because they were deteriorated. Searched many aftermarket parts companies but couldn't find anyone that carried them. Ended up having to buy a new set from Harley. The proper term is "Washer and Grommet Assembly". Sold as Each so you'll need to purchase 4. HD part number 56183-00 fits 03 models. Unsure if 2012 models will have a different part number.

If you live close to a 4x4 Offroad parts store or an Automotive Speed Shop that carries Energy Suspension products you could upgrade these rubber bushings to polyurethane. http://energysuspension.com. You'll have to take a sample with you for comparison. If you go this route and purchase polyurethane, please post the stock number.

 

Thanks.....I'll look into ES and tomorrow stop by HD and see if they have that part# in stock and have a look at it. Strange that HD doesn't list the 2012 part in their inventory.
