So I have recently aquired a set of SHOWA VTX shocks for my Magna compliments of roboto65, Thank You Sir!!, but I have forgotten who he recommended for a replacement bushing kit. anyone have any suggestions???? It will be greatly appreciated!!!
Also, It would be nice if anyone had a recommendation for the pre-load setting.....Im 150lbs!!

Soooooo......Never Mind!!!! Turns out that a slight modification and these fit perfectly!! Forgot that i already had a lowering kit on the rear!! So has anyone else tried this and what did you think????
I assume you are talking about the OEM VTX shock? The pretty chrome sleeved one(s)? Be aware that there are two versions of that shock, one for the 1800 and one for the 1300. The 1800's are much stiffer than the 1300's (imagine that...). I ran the 1800s for a while and changed them out for the 1300s. The 1800 were just too stiff at the lowest setting for me (250lbs yet). The 1300 are a nice fit between the stockers and the 1800s. Your call on what you are looking for though.
