Rear shocks

I'm having trouble finding the correct rear shocks for my 750 racer...

They are 12.9" long with exposed springs, however the lower bushing is narrower than replacements I can find. The brackets on my swing arm has an inside width of 0.74". As far as I know the swing arm is original to the Dominator 88 wideline featherbed, but I could be wrong about that...

Should I order the ones with wider bushing width (0.9??") and modify to suit? Or are there others available that I haven't discovered...

As long as the eye on the bottom of the shock is less than 0.74" in width then yes just reduce the bushes to 0.74", the eye has to be less so the tabs on the swingarm grip only on the bush leaving the shock free to move as the swingarm moves through its arc.
