You talking about the spacers that go through the spline? I just get the rubber ones that the dealer stocks. If you want fancy metal chrome, then ebay

I bought my bushings at Harley, along with a new shaft for around $30 all in. I drilled the boss and added a grease zerk while I had the old shaft out. Also added an o-ring on each end of the shaft and a wave spring on the outboard side of the rubber spacer.

Are you thinking of the plastic bushings for the brake and clutch lever, or the shaft attached to the shifter arms?

Bushings for the shaft that the foot levers are attached to, note one end is slightly beveled to fit into the housing on the primary a little easier. Look at Ronnies parts drawings for your bike.

Get the bushings from Harley.
I would buy a new greaseable shifting shaft from Pingel.
Thats what I did, fixes it real good and built to last.
