Shockwave 9000 or 9001 Eye/Bolt Size

Quick question, I've searched both here and the ridetech site. What size bolt (diameter) is used for mounting the above bags and is a bushing sleeve required (if so, what size)?

TIA,
Jon D.

Last I checked, they were eliminating the poly bushings and using spherical bearing instead. I would call them to verify.

The spherical bearing appears to be 1/2 and I found that they do use a sleeve in the poly bushing (which the sphericals look like the better way to go in order to avoid binding.

Thanks for the info.

I went ahead and ordered the 1/2" sleeves from Craig at ridetech. After hitting two auto parts chains and one hardware store (not a Lowe's or HD, one with a real fasteners aisle), I threw in the towel.

$17 for four shipped is cheaper than running all over Central Texas.

Later,
Jon D.
