Re: shock rubbers
Yes, but you will probably need a press to remove/refit them
Item #3 for the bushes in the swing arm

Doesn't look like the original shocks have replacement bushes, but I can't see why you cannot get a non Suzuki item if you get the sizes

Re: shock rubbers
You wont need a press............cut the old ones out with a knife or hacksaw blade, and then fit the new ones with a bit of studding and some large washers and some deep sockets or tubing, aided by some grease or washing up liquid. The metal spacer needs removing before you try to install!
I bought some replacement bushes from a guy at Stafford last year...........or was it the year before?

I did try that........
...............Now got a shiny new vice
It was easier for me to take the swing arm down to my local garage and buy the lad a beer!
