I sold the last of replacement shock bushings for the early GEM shocks.  
I still have the larger bushings for later models.

Here is a work around for worn out bushings. Remove the old bushings and clean up the spacer. Wrap it with swveral layers of GORILLA tape and drive it back in the shock with a hammer or press it in with a vice or press.

Lasts a long time
