Hi , Does anyone know where I can purchase a rear shock bush, it has 15mm inner and 24 mm outer diameter, it had some play and no doubt will fail next mot. This was already a refurbished shocker I fitted only 2 year ago at considerable cost, repair this time I hope !.

You might check on EBay and see if there is one there.
Other options would be breakers on that side of the pond or David Silver Spares or CSMNL.

Yeah, been through that road...
The bush #4 is actually only the "axle"... there is a steel sleeved nylon bushing fitted into the top housing of the shock, and that's the item wearing out...
I ended up getting a decent looking, used shock at eBay, and swapped the bushing into my (way better working) shock of the '94 ST1100...
A combination of sockets and the bench vice to force the bushings out and drive the better one back into place works perfect...
lol, yea its the nylon bush part which will need pressed out, looks like google search right enough
Yea thanks for confirming, I will need to chase up some options no doubt, thanks for response.
Thanks for the link, they nearly had the sizes I am looking for but not quite, they had a 14mm inner with 27mm outer bush. I could cope with 14mm inner with a quick drill out but nowt I can do with a 27mm outer

Even better when you've a lathe in your own shop... 
(cause this is my approach the next time I'm in need...)

lol, thanks , I have a friend who can machine the polyeurothane bush bar to size then hopefully press on the sleeves.
