    I have burly sportster shocks I want to install and I have seen people cut down new bushings to fit, but the gap between the bike mounting bolt and and the inside of shock sleeve is so small I was wondering if I could simply get another sleeve to make up the difference. I have found several reducing sleeves on ebay but am having trouble finding the exact diameter of the bolt and the inside diameter ofbthe shocks. Anyone know offhand?

    Can't tell you about the shocks but the lower mount on the right side is a 10mm bolt. You will need a bushing with an ID of .400" for that. The top mount on the right side and both mounts on the left side need a bushing with an ID of .550-.555 which is 14mm.
