Shock absorber rubbers

[AndySwad]

I've got a pair of standard 1100/1000 shocks which I'm about to dismantle and repaint but the top rubbers bushes need replacing, any idea where I can get something to replace these they are not listed seperatly by Suzki only complete supplied with the shocks

Somebody else asked about this recently and were able to get a pair from Hagon (I think).
I expect they were for Hagon shox but maybe worth a call Andy, they're good people to deal with and I'm sure they'll have something in stock to help.

But they both have no outer metal shell, Does it need one?

My frame is currently buried, not got it out yet to send to powder coat so cannot see but how far different is the swingarm shock bush?
|Can somebody have a look please

(I have just rebuilt some marzocchis) I bought the ones with the plastic innner sleeve first, but wasn't confident that the plastic was up to it. Got some with a metal inner sleeve that seem to fit fine (not the exact ones you show, but a set with different sizes). Biggest pain I had was getting the old ones out.

Not used them on the road yet, but they look like they'll do the job.

Getting them out easy, large socket underneath, smaller socket on top and hit with hammer.

Now the swingarm bearings they were a bitch to get out.
