Shock absorber bush replacement

Dennis menace · 29-03-2019, 11:54 AM

I had an advisory at my bikes MOT for: "Shock absorber lower suspension bush slightly worn."
I have a 1992 750ss and I am assuming that this is the rubber bush in the shock absorber.
Can they be replaced, if so how and where can I get one?

The rest of the shock absorber is in good condition.

Many thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis, if it's the rubber bush in the shock absorber itself then I know someone who can replace them with quality German spherical bearings - he charges £50 if you get the shock to him, he's in Nottingham, Pm me if you want to get in touch with him, he did mine on my s4r - proper mint job too - he has his own machine shop.
Cheers - Mark

Mark, many thanks. I have put the bike up for sale on eBay but if it does not sell I'll get the bush replaced. Would you please pm me with details as he sounds like a useful contact.
