This is my next project. I already have my switch pre-wired, I just need compressor, solenoid, lines, fittings, and shocks. I am not sure what to do about the bushings in the shocks though. I have zero knowledge about this type of modification and am not sure where to get the bushings or where to start. Could anyone give me some tips with getting the shocks ready for mounting?

I went with energy suspension for the bushings and had to take my dremel to them to make them fit correctly. Called energy suspension to make sure that was fine and they said to saw, grind, slice those bushings and they would be fine.

You should be able to find the bushings that you need at any industrial supply store. That is where I got mine. It rides so much better than stock. Or at least I think so.

Is there any chance that someone could tell me the exact pieces that I need from a place like Energy? I have a feeling that if I call and tell them I need lower shock bushings for a Harley Touring bike that will fit Monroe MA785 Corvette shocks I may not get very far. But for all I know, they may know exactly what I need from that information. Thanks for the help, guys.
