Worn bushings

I ride 3 to 4 days a week and rack up the miles pretty fast. I used to wear out the swing arm bushings in a season but now all my bikes have custom frames so that's not a problem. Are all the kits still just using plastic bushings? My riot has almost wore through the upper shock bushings. They are paper thin now so I need new ones soon. Anyone know a source? Timbersled doesn't sell them separately.

Odd set up on those shocks, thin thin bushing new, fall right out of most shocks I rebuild, Carver Enterprises in Minnesota might have them, I haven't looked.

I don't ride a TS anymore but I have made bushings out of Delrin rod for kits before. You may be able to fab some. Delrin is a dream to work with on the lathe.
