If you know what size you'll need(measure carefully with a micrometer if possible), This company here might be able to get you some split bushings or plain bearings:

Thanks, I should clarify that I am looking for something to replace the rubber bushings. Both the S&W shocks I am replacing and the HD have rubber bushings wit ha steel sleeve.

I found a solution. I had some old shocks from my 75 Z. Pressed the one out of it the work.
Only thing is is that they are narrower and the HD shock is a tad wider. Are the shocks supposed to be able to pivot on the spacers in the bushings?
