Rear progressive shocks kz750

Hello,
I bought some 412 progressive shocks for my 1983 kz750f1. The eyelet hole diameter is the new shocks is a little bigger than the old ones that I had. They came with a few bushings. None of them work plug and play. There is one bushing that is close but needs to be drilled out to fit. It’s almost the same size as the shock mount on the rear so I might have to take off too much metal.

Any experience with this or advice? Thank you!

If you have the old bushings you can repurpose the metal sleeve with another rubber bushing from your assortment. I've done that to fit Bonneville shocks to a XS650. Or you can take careful measurements and order bushings on amazon or eBay
Good luck.

Or contact Progressive.......

I drilled out the bushings with the drill press. I used a micrometer to measure. My old ones were .554 inches inside diameter. Closest drill bit I could find at local hard ware shop was 9/16. Drilled them out and seemed to have enough metal left for what I needed. Thank you for the advice!!
