Oh boy…fun with Shocks. So I ordered a pair of rear shocks from Amazon for my CT70, mine is a 1982. Unfortunately the shock fits the top stud of the frame which I believe is 12mm ID bushing sleeve but did not fit the bottom swing arm stud as it was too big of a sleeve. Turns out the sleeves on theses after markets are 12mm top and bottom. Can anyone tell me for sure, is the ID on my swing arm stud require a 10mm bushing/sleeve? And is that different from other model years?
 
12 on top and 10 on the bottom. Too bad you didn't ask around, I have a set of 82 shocks off a low mileage Arizona bike in one of my spare part bins.
 
...or, pull the steel bushings out of the new shocks (lower) and get measurements...length and OD. Then search for new ones with the correct I.D.

Sorry Ol CT, too new to this. I’ll remember to ask in the future! Thanks for the reply
