Title: bushing question for EVO folks with a swinger in the rear (wow-that sounds bad)
Post by: asylum_inc on January 14, 2008, 10:31:06 am

Anyway - I am in the process of replacing my stratos shock with a swinger - I need to get the proper size bushings to mount the shock.  Did everybody make their own bushings or are these readily available somewhere? Thanks.

I had manitou supply mine. My LBS took the model # of my bike and bolt size and sent in an order form. The I know that Manitou has an archive of these sizes, and cost aprox $25 U.S..

Risse did some custom ones I hear also.

My son works in a machine shop so I had him make me a couple of sets. Here's a link to check out in case you can't find them somewhere else.
You'll have to hit the "go" tab next to the drop down windows across the top to bring up the spacers.
